CNN —Spanning decades of Russian history from the confines of a luxury hotel, “A Gentleman in Moscow” provides another strong TV showcase for Ewan McGregor, this time playing opposite his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
At the same time, the show manages to be quite funny and even romantic, nicely developing the other lives that Alexander touches.
Plus, there’s the added kick of seeing McGregor and Winstead (who met shooting the third season of FX’s “Fargo”) sink their teeth into such juicy, flamboyant roles.
And while Alexander might not be able to leave, viewers who voluntarily check into the Hotel Metropol will have plenty of reasons to enjoy their stay.
“A Gentleman in Moscow” premieres March 29 on Paramount+ with Showtime and March 31 at 9 p.m.
