Anybody feeling cautious about this?
I love Matthew Weiner and the cast looks great, but the premise itself seems... iffy? Not sure if it can be pulled off.
Part of the reason I'm apprehensive is that as I understand it it deals with different strings of stories with separated characters, right? Not sure what it's called, but basically multiple (rarely) interconnecting storylines. A la Magnolia, Traffic, or Pulp Fiction. Mad Men/Sopranos excelled in using their runtimes to develop the characters, so I don't know that a similar mood/goal can be accomplished.
It's also only a mini-series right? Which is unfortunate since it means no more Matthew Weiner for at least three years, if ever. It also gives even less time to nurture a character show.
Anybody else have similar doubts about The Romanoffs? Anyone got something to assuage mine?
