    A Gentleman in Moscow is also beautifully filmed (like watching history unfold within a snowglobe). Though let down by a ponderous pace – it’s at least two episodes too long – if you can stick it out, it’s worth a look.

    For many, the early pace will prove too sedate, but McGregor’s outstanding performance rewards those who stay the course.

    As with so many modern prestige television ventures, the show distends itself so severely that it’s impossible not to think that it would have been better off as a two-hour feature film.

    It’s a show that pads itself out rather than cultivating its ensemble or engaging with deeper, more substantive issues than Rostov’s personal plight. You won’t mind spending time with the Count, but he won’t follow you through the Metropol’s revolving door.
