The Big Picture Based on Amor Towles’ critically acclaimed novel by the same name, A Gentleman in Moscow is Showtime’s next great historical drama. While the mention of “Moscow” in the title might make the mind’s eye wander down snowy streets in the shadow of Saint Basil's Cathedral, A Gentleman in Moscow is far removed from the sprawl of a struggling society and is instead a far more quaint tale, set within the confines of a grandiose hotel-turned-prison cell.
A Gentleman in Moscow Drama A Russian aristocrat is spared from death and placed on house arrest while the Bolshevik Revolution plays out before him. While Alexander’s relationship with Anna is at the heart of A Gentleman in Moscow, the soul of the series is his unlikely friendships with two little girls who call the Metropol home during different periods of his imprisonment. First is Nina Kulikova , a curly-haired spitfire who has everyone in the hotel wrapped around her finger. It’s through Nina that Alexander starts to make genuine connections with the host of characters around him, which changes him for the better.
‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ Starts Slow, But Builds to a Pulse-Pounding Conclusion Spread out across eight episodes, A Gentleman in Moscow spans approximately forty years of Alexander’s life in captivity. With each new episode, a running total of how many days he has spent in his lavish prison is tallied up. Occasionally, the episodes will work backward from each shocking total, which cleverly hooks the audience right from the onset of the episode.
