Mad Men alums Christina Hendricks and John Slattery are joining Matthew Weiner’s project at Amazon Studios, The Romanoffs, which is about Romanoffs. But it is somehow not lavish, expensively produced costume porn.

Variety reports that:

The new series will consist of eight hourlong episodes, each of which will tell a standalone story with no recurring plot elements or actors. Each episode will tell the stories of people in contemporary times who believe they are descendants of the imperial family that ruled Russia from 1613 until the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917. In addition to Hendricks and Slattery, the series has also cast Academy Award nominee Isabelle Huppert, “Boardwalk Empire” alum Jack Huston, “Togetherness” alum Amanda Peet, and Golden Globe nominee Marthe Keller.
Every single episode should be about somebody running a scam related to Anastasia, or it will be a wasted creative opportunity.

i dont know it's just not for me i dont think it's a bad show or think it's not worthy of its praise. i just kinda sat that one out?

i didn't watch it when it was on and trying now just feels pointless and exhausting.

This is such an odd concept. Good to see Noah Wyle in there though.

It's a concept that lends itself well to short stories, which Weiner is godly at

Jay Ferguson aka Stan Rizzo too. They're probably all on different episodes though.
