Really enjoyed the first episode and here's hoping it goes on in the same vein. It starts slowly and feels a slow burn - I haven't read the book yet but by all accounts the book also seems a slow burner. Don't let that put you off, the characters are interesting, Ewan McGregor fits in seamlessly for his role and it is quite atmospheric. I can't think of anything negative to say and have to say this feels like an original and I can't think of any series it's taken from. The story starts towards the end of the Russian revolution and it's a Russia that is finding its feet and getting round to Leninism and Socialism.
I'm looking forward to the second episode so here's hoping the good work continues.
