We need a series about The Romanovs similar to The Crown

Reading about the Romanovs on the 108th anniversary of their execution reminded me how much dramatic material there is. While there have been films and documentaries, I don’t think there’s ever been a large-scale drama that explores Nicholas II’s reign in the same way *The Crown* explored the modern British monarchy.

A series could easily run for 2–3 seasons:

Nicholas and Alexandra’s marriage and family life.
The political crises leading up to the 1905 Revolution.
Rasputin and his influence over the imperial family.
The First World War and Nicholas taking personal command of the army.
The February and October Revolutions.
The family’s captivity and eventual execution.

It also has an incredible ggsupporting cast of historical figures—Witte, Stolypin, Rasputin, Lenin, Kerensky, the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and many others
