Upcoming A Gentleman in Moscow (Limited Series) [Showtime]

[kaw]

An adaptation of Amor Towles’ internationally best-selling novel, A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW follows Count Alexander Rostov, played by Emmy® Award-winning actor Ewan McGregor (Star Wars franchise, Halston, Trainspotting), who, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, finds that his gilded past has placed him on the wrong side of history. Spared immediate execution, he is banished by a Soviet tribunal to an attic room in the opulent Hotel Metropol and threatened with death if he ever sets foot outside again. As the years pass and some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history unfold outside the hotel’s doors, Rostov’s reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery. As he builds a new life within the walls of the hotel, he discovers the true value of friendship, family and love.

Series premiere streaming March 29 with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.

This is literally how I feel the past couple of years. After my Ma died I've no reason to go outside and have 'imprisoned' myself, and venture out to the Zombieland only to get food supplies and Blu-ray packages (even though all those can be delivered, I just need to walk a little to avoid muscle astrophy entirely).
Nothing changes in this godforsaken country in centuries, will be interesting to see a 'brother' in peril from the times when my family was butchered and exiled from our land, subjugated to live like peasants, still not having recovered former wealth, while they dance happily on our bones, threatening, promising to 'repeat'.
