The One That Holds Everything

This series, so far, has had some hits and misses, but this episode is really captivating...

Absolutely the best episode with a twist ending that completely threw me for a loop. Not going to say anything to give it away but if you've been watching the series, the best is the last. I had to watch it again afterwards.

It's fitting that early on we see two of the characters from the first episode since that one and this one share a sense of setting things right.

There are multiple stories/flashbacks within the story yet you can easily follow Simon's life, how he was treated and the difficulties he faced.

It's the resolution of the problems Simon faced that had me praising the story and hoping for more episodes like this one.

The Romanoffs hasn't exactly been a success, but there have been glimmers of good storytelling among this season. I think both this episode and last week's episode were really good, and they seemed to finally capture what Matthew Weiner intended for with this show.

Why did we watch this whole mess. It starts on a french train in modern day, and ends up going to 2 other temporal eras, with confusion on the connection of them all. Character development was completely backwards and uninteresting, like we are supposed to know the ending first, and the beginning later. If there is a second series, we will not be watching. We don't find it entertaining, but rather self indulgent writing of the creators.
