'The Romanoffs' review: Matt Weiner's #MeToo episode leaves you confused and far from getting any answers to the burning question

You would assume that Matt Weiner, who has himself been accused of sexual harassment in the wake of the #MeToo movement, would make a point in 'Bright and High Circle'

The latest anthology of 'The Romanoffs', 'Bright and High Circle', dealt less about the descendants of the Russian imperial family and more about the era of sexual harassment accusations. This chapter talks about the seeds of doubt that are planted when one hears the words "inappropriate behavior". While no one is really sure about what it is that exactly happened, rumors fly everywhere and reputations are in jeopardy. The anthology time and time again balances out the doubts with logic asking for proof. It's hard to pinpoint what's wrong and what's the truth as 'Bright and High Circle' navigates its way through the grey areas of accusations. The plot, however, is a letdown.

The story revolves around a community of friends whose children take piano lessons from a young gay music teacher.
