Finally...

Finally, it's just 71 days until Matthew Weiner's The Romanoffs debuts. The series is about 8 different people who believe they might be a descendant from the Russian royal family. Like Sense8, it shot its storylines all over the world so it's probably an expensive beast that will need to do well to survive. To say we're excited is to be putting it mildly. Weiner created the greatest TV show ever (Mad Men) and also had a hand in writing and producing The Sopranos, so the track record is, uh, pretty good.
