A really nice fall from grace story, and re-inventing one's self. There are incredibly annoying aspects of the show that you should deal with though:
1- By now, you should know that almost any hollywood "historical" story, is actually a work of fiction. They might as well have happened in a parallel universe.
2- Be color blind, we all know that 99.9% of Russians are not black, even if that's not the case in the show (again, parallel universe)
3- Apart from the first 2 episodes, keep your finger on the skip button for the occasional nonsensical propaganda.
4- Keep your finger on the skip button for a lot of the female conversations in the show that mostly serve no purpose other than (women are strong, men are evil, women are the victims of men, etc..).
Ewan Mcgregor actually does a very good job, and visuals are decent.
