Episodes are releasing every friday. Enjoyed the first one.
Is anyone else watching? I didn't read the book, but this seems like something that will be worth watching.

Based on the 2016 novel by Amor Towles, "A Gentleman in Moscow" is set against the backdrop of post-Revolutionary Russia, where Count Alexander Rostov is stripped of his title and material wealth, and placed under house arrest for life in a grand Moscow hotel. Unlikely friendships, fleeting romance and the hotel's occupants open the Count's eyes to the hidden wonders of the hotel, and the enduring power of human connection. After losing everything, he must learn that true riches are found in love, courage and community.

I really enjoyed the book, I didn't know they'd made an adaptation. I'll have to check this out

It does look good. I'm waiting for them to add more episodes so I can watch two a night.

Aren’t you rooting for the Politburo?

no, all political parties are corrupt. I'd rather root for the individual

The book is incredible. I've read it many times. I watched the first episode and they made several changes already. They didn't exactly make the communists likeable but they don't call them communists. I don't even know if they called them bolsheviks. Some other character changes that didn't seem necessary (like his cousin playing a predominant role, rather than getting jammed up very early by the bolsheviks for bolshevist shite) and also that the Count never fantasized about escaping in the book. He wasn't a pussy. They made him a pussy. I'll keep watching. It is cool to look at and McGregor does a good job. Ossop showed up too early. The bishop looks appropriate.

Definitely going to check out. Like stated, the book was a good read.

The book was excellent
I never say ‘I wish I had Paramount’, but it will be disappointing not getting to watch this.

Unfortunately, I haven’t read the book. Maybe that’s why I wasnt captivated by the first episode of the series. There’s more to the story.
