Well this sounds like everything I will love. Then I watched the trailer and I'm not sure.

Watched the first episode this week. Marthe Keller & Inès Melab were very enjoyable to watch. They carried the episode. Now I am curious to see the next part of the Romanoff descendants. Will it be anything like the first episode or feel completely different?
