Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
NPR
Eric Deggans
"The Romanoffs" feels like a glitzy showcase for mediocre stories with a tenuous connection to each other. It's a disappointing second act from the guy who created one of the best dramas in TV history.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
I stuck up for "The Romanoffs" through episode four, even claiming that the show's unevenness - which a majority of less-impressed critics were emphasizing in their reviews - was part of its individualistic charm. But then disappointment set in.
The New Yorker
Emily Nussbaum
The real problem is that the story never earns the fairy-tale leap it demands that viewers accept, a development that you might begin to suspect halfway through.
The New Republic
Jennifer Wilson
I found myself wishing I could watch the show within the show, "The Romanovs," instead, or at least a better version of it.
Vanity Fair
Sonia Saraiya
This is a ridiculous, ambitious, funny, scary show-made all the more captivating because in every moment, it feels suffused with possibilities.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
And yet, when it works, the series can be fascinating.
New York Daily News
Kate Feldman
Where the various descendants of the Romanovs have misplaced delusions of grandeur, so, too, does Weiner, who... has instead birthed a too-long mess of incoherence and questions that I don't care enough about to get answered.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
In show-business terms, "The Romanoffs" certainly conveys its pedigree. But like so many who have claimed that royal lineage, the result turns out to be pretty pedestrian.
Vox
Emily St. James
Weiner maintains his knack for getting terrific performances out of actors.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
The Romanoffs nonetheless feels like an overcorrection, shackling itself with a handicap it can't quite overcome.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
The Romanov/Romanoff conceit is like caviar on a ham sandwich.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
As a drama, The Romanoffs' early episodes are a mixed bag. But as commentary on the current obsession with genealogy and where we came from, it's worth the watch.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
A prime example of "prestige TV" run amok: all glitz, A-list stars and exotic filming locations with nothing substantive underneath.
Slate
Willa Paskin
Like its characters, the show continuously puts its worst, least interesting foot forward, aristocratically expecting you'll stick around to see the next step.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
It's more like a Black Mirror of relationships, privilege and ruling classes in decline.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Instead, at nearly 90 minutes apiece, episodes of "The Romanoffs" play together like a nice long weekend at an independent film festival in the mountains somewhere.
Newsday
Verne Gay
"The Violet Hour" is an elegant and surprising love story, while "The Royal We" is a sour disappointment. But the best news: A Matthew Weiner show is back on TV.
AV Club
Erik Adams
There's something potent there, something fundamentally Weiner-esque. But it just doesn't connect in these three episodes. And so the show mirrors its characters in yet another way: It falls short of those which came before it.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
Will The Romanoffs ever cohere on a thematic level? We won't know until it's over, but Weiner certainly has a knack for memorable finales.
USA Today
Bill Keveney
Shots of nighttime in Paris are beautiful and Stoll knows how to play a jerk. But those bits and pieces aren't enough to sustain a show as woe...[ END HERE ]fully overdone as "Romanoffs.
