I think it’s one of thebest shows TV on Paramount+, even a year after its debut.
The show is not normally my kind of thing, but my enjoyment supports its brilliance.
Despite being a work of fiction,A Gentleman in Moscowpays a great level of attention to historical accuracy.
None of the characters are real, butthe Metropol is a genuine hotel in Moscow.
It’s almost as if an unseen chronicle from that period of Russian history is being played out onscreen.
The show is just one year old, but Amor Towles' source material is nearing its tenth birthday.

He nails all of his dramatic moments, but also the more comedic scenes that punctuate the narrative.
The Metropol hotel is populated with a variety of characters both loyal to Alexander and against him.
His interactions with figures in both categories are equally entertaining, but for very different reasons.
All the episodes are also immaculately directed, andAmor Towles' original version of the story remains largely intact.
A Gentleman in Moscowsomehow manages to cover 30+ years of events in just eight episodes.
