OMG, it's the Romanovs and they made it boring. It's honestly as dull and boring as an art history documentary. When it really should be chaotic and dynamic and and riveting.

There is no reason why you should sit through a documentary about the Tsars and have it put you to sleep. The execution was horrible....
