'The Romanoffs' review: Kathryn Hahn's Anka Garner is anything but a garden-variety mother in 'End of the Line'

While 'End of the Line' fails to talk about how the bloodline continued in the first place, it does give us an interesting and complex character in the form of Anka
PUBLISHED NOV 19, 2018

Yet another failed attempt at storytelling, Matt Weiner's 'The Romanoffs: End of the Line' was a mediocre episode, at best. The show has repeatedly failed to hit the nail on the head and it didn't really come as a surprise when this chapter too, entirely missed the point of the show - if there ever was one, that is. However, just like every cloud has a silver lining, 'End of the Line' had one fantastic element - Kathryn Hahn's Anka Garner. 

This installment went home to Russia for its plot. After five years of trying to get pregnant and failing miserably, Anka and Joe Graner (Jay R. Ferguson) find their prayers answered when an adoption request goes through.
