Ranking the episodes

I just saw End of the Line. Wow, what a great episode! I was skeptical of this series because I saw it only
had incidental relation to the Romanovs, and I didn't really like Violet Hour even though I like Martha Keller. Then I skipped down to one that looked interesting and I wasn't disappointed! By the way I've travelled to most of Eastern Europe, but not in Russia (yet).
End of the Line is #7 of the 8 episodes about the American couple who comes to Vladivostok to adopt a baby.
So update on the ones I've seen:

#1 (by far) End of the Line
#2 House of Special Purpose
#3 Bright and High Circle
#4 Panorama
#5 The One that holds Everything
The other 3 I didn't really like, sorry to those that did.

I've only watched te first two episodes so far (Violet Hour and The Royal We). Interesting neither of the prior posters though much of The Royal We, but I loved it. Thought it was very funny. I much preferred it to The Violet Hour, but I've got more episodes to go.

After finishing the series and thinking about them a bit, I'd rate them as follows.

3. End Of The Line

5. The Violet Hour
