Episodes are a good length that you can get into a story line. For a person who enjoys short stories this is a series to watch. Each episode has its own take on one person from the Romanoff line. Like our own lives in a family no two are alike. Its like watching how a family tree spreads out far and wide, you lose contact with members and sure you can research and write down how the branches spread, but one would never know the details of that select portion of the families lives.
