    Annoying to watch

    The show would be fine if it wasn't often interrupted by narration and nude sex scenes twice an episode that aren't even necessary to the story and take you right out of the drama.

    Good acting, twisted history

    I'll make it quick. The actors were good, the costumes, palaces etc too. What annoyed me were the narrators in between, there was no need for them, as did the twisting of the history since there were no russian historians involved in it, just british and maybe americans. Which also is bothering is that all of the actors speak british english which somehow doesn't reflect the mentality of russians. Also there is no need for the explicit sex scenes at all, there are simply too much of them. The rest is entertaining and well acted in my opinion.

    An unusual format that is used effectively.

    Whilst a lot of documentary series include dramatised segments, this very much feels like a drama series that intermittently gets interrupted by documentary moments. It's an unusual format, but I got used to it very quickly. It knits together well and I didn't feel that one style of presenting the narrative was encroaching upon the other. They complement each other effectively to give insight into a period of history that, I have realised, I didn't know as much about as I first imagined. Minor point. Other reviewers have questioned Nicholas having a dragon tattoo. It's actually historically accurate. He got it on a trip to Japan before he became Czar.

    Sumptuous but strangely lacking

    This historical docuseries swings away at the story of Nicholas and Alexandra, their children, and the mad monk Rasputin (played with gusto and some sort of wild Cockney accent by British actor Ben Cartwright). It has tons and tons of sparkle and glitz, but it's missing heart. You are not going to become terribly involved with Czar Nicholas or the family's tragic story. There are some great photos taken during the time period, and even some film clips. This adds interest. However, that and the glamorous costumes are not enough to save this series. I suggest watching the film "Nicholas and Alexandra" instead, or perhaps reading Robert Massie's book about the fall of the Romanovs, "Nicholas and Alexandra". Grade: C

    Could have been good, but decided to be average

    The problem with "The Last Czars" is that the creators couldn't decide on what they wanted this series to be. So instead of making a decision, they tried everything, and by doing this, they only succeeded in achieving mediocrity. The whole thing just missed some heart.

    What they did wrong: * You make it into a drama-historical serie or into a docu-serie. Both together work against each other. You lose all the momentum when you cut to historical narrators who give context to the story.

    * English accents in a very Russian enviroment doesn't work for me.

    * Dialogue missed depth. Had the hardest time getting invested in the Romanov's.

    *Visual effects were very poor (few shots of explosions, ships or train were not up to standards)

    The good: * Historical correct! Costumes, sets were absolutely on point.

    * A great story that needed to be told, but deserved a better translation.

    In the end, if production would have been comparable to "The Crown", this would have been a great succes. Missed opportunity, what a shame! Nevertheless I watched the whole serie in two days. If you are interested in this kind of historical facts, this serie really deliver on historical facts. So I would still recommend watching it.
