AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Matthew Weiner's return to television is as handsomely made as it is ambitious and sprawling -- unfortunately, it's also fatally indulgent, asking for the utmost patience from audiences without a compelling incentive.

And yet, when it works, the series can be fascinating.
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.
Banish thoughts of Mad Men and The Romanoffs is perfectly enjoyable on its own terms.
Like its characters, the show continuously puts its worst, least interesting foot forward, aristocratically expecting you'll stick around to see the next step.
Both lavish and languid, the first three installments of Amazon Prime's The Romanoffs are mostly bereft of the snap, pop and sizzle of Mad Men.
"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.
