Ivan L Having read the novel on which this series is based, I was looking forward to this on screen version enormously, particularly because Ewan McGregor was the star. The novel is one of the best books I’ve read, the same doesn’t apply to the TV Series, to the extent I reluctantly watched the final episode. Only one characters aged over a 30 to 40 year period and the large number of African American or UK African actors made a mockery of who would have have lived in a hotel in post revolutionary Moscow Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Magpie X Really struggling with this charmless show. I'm distracted by the casting and accents that look and sound so disingenuous that I'm being pulled out of the magic of the storytelling, a missed opportunity as the book is warm, witty, and thoughtful. Which this series isn't. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review kay m Obviously not realistic but a fun fairytale Ewan is so incredible at this role Highly recommend Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Cindy H Almost like a modern fairytale, but deals with historical events in Russia , the Revolution, Stalin, etc. Shows how all that effects everyone, but in a personal way from the ex- royal perspective. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review The Nail B Lots of inaccuracies. Horrible adaptation of a phenomenal book Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Jason K Smart show, love the story Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

A Gentleman in Moscow: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Verne Gay Newsday An inert, talky bore. Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 8, 2024 Full Review A Gentleman in Moscow: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Emily Zemler Observer The events unfold with a deft visual and tonal style, augmented by McGregor’s spot-on performance, which shifts effortlessly between showmanship and vulnerability. Apr 3, 2024 Full Review A Gentleman in Moscow: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It's very easy to watch. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review A Gentleman in Moscow: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Despite being a work of fiction, the tale is believable thanks to the incorporation of historical details into the story. Apr 24, 2024 Full Review A Gentleman in Moscow: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Dustin Rowles Pajiba McGregor’s performance alone would be enough to make A Gentleman in Moscow compelling, but there’s a great story brewing, too. Apr 9, 2024 Full Review A Gentleman in Moscow: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Ewan McGregor took up the challenge, moustache and all, and succeeded handsomely. There’s a twinkle in McGregor’s eye that’s been desperate for an outing for a while now (as far back as Trainspotting, perhaps?), and here he had the chance to let it loose.
