No one ever says 'nazdorovia' in Russia.
This show raises lots of questions. But wait. It's the same question: WHY.
- Why did the screenwriters think it would be a good idea at all? Why was it necessary to name it 'the Romanovs'?
- Why is it so complicated to hire a professional Russian consultant to ensure no one of your characters by a weird coincidence wears a Cossack hat in 2018 or says 'nazdorovia'? No one says 'nazdorovia' and no one ever said.
- Why anyone can consider a family murder a good opening scene idea? Just imagine it's a Kennedy murder scene with nice leftovers of his brain on a Chanel suit. Repeat each time.
- Why does it look like a lazy girl's school project, including wet dreams? Is is so complicated for an American to research some history of Russian aristocracy in Europe to make the screenplay not so flat and predictable?
- Why a Muslim girl falls in love with this 50-something chubby man and sleeps with him after he offers her a pizza and a ride home?
.... I have 10 more why's but I have go - time to feed my home bear with caviar and play balalaika.
