Count Alexander Rostov (a loveably witty Ewan McGregor) adjusts in a poignant adaptation of Amor Towles' acclaimed novel. [1 - 21 Apr 2024, p.5]
McGregor offers a masterclass in acting; he is consistently charming, warm, and eye-catching at all times. Some might find McGregor’s Rostov to be too twee or his cheerfulness false, but his charisma and hopefulness read authentic, which even the harshest of cynics would be forced to admit. The often bleak energy of the show is buoyed by McGregor’s winsome and earnest nature.

An absolutely immersive film. It takes us back in time in such a way that it was as if you were there. As the story unfolds, it peaks your interest even further, making you desire to know what comes next. Guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Would have loved it if the series continued beyond what we currently have. Russia didn't have this much blacks though? Not now and certainly not back then

Looks great, but boring. I get that on tye surface this should be an interesting story and maybe the book is better, but it just doesn't have much to say under all that talking. And I know everything has to be slathered in DEI, but why is there a very modern looking black guy front and center in a story set in turn of the century Russia? Or is he the personification of white guilt? This just glaringly takes you out of out of the whole thing. Was this a product of the BLM riots, pandemic, and writers strike? And just not.released ****

McGregor’s performance is key to the success of A Gentleman In Moscow, a series which has its dark moments, but is a whole lot more hopeful than it seems on the surface.
A Gentleman in Moscow lives up to the expectations set by Towles’ novel and delivers a sprawling historical epic contained within the walls of a single location.
Because of that slight imbalance, and because the decades-spanning story doesn’t have quite enough incident to fill eight hours, A Gentleman in Moscow turns out to be a relative rarity: the prestige drama hangout show. It can be funny at times, deeply sad at others, and occasionally even surprising. Mostly, though, it works because the Count and the makeshift family he’s forced to create within the walls of the Metropol are so appealing.
For many, the early pace will prove too sedate, but McGregor’s outstanding performance rewards those who stay the course.
It was confusing and took me two episodes to understand that all the black people in this are meant to be Russians too.
I'm dropping it because my interest in this was historical and DEI cheapens that.

Ewan McGregor is a fine actor. It seems like a lot of money was spent on sets so this is not a cheap production. Russian revolution era had zero black people in Moscow. Why is the main cast half black? Historical context is now meaningless. Ridiculous
