'The Romanoffs' Season 1 review [SPOILERS]: Simon Burrows is the one that holds everything in the season finale

Impeccably well written, thrilling and mysteriously layered, the finale 'The One that Holds Everything' reminds us why we were excited about the series in the first place

Saving the best for last were you, Matt Weiner?

Let's be honest, Weiner's eight-part anthology series 'The Romanoffs' hasn't had the best run. After a confused couple of episodes and a disappointment called 'Bright and High Circle', the show hasn't exactly been the most enjoyable. However, 'The Roamnoffs' really stepped up their game with the finale, 'The One That Holds Everything'. It has everything that makes a great thriller — identity crisis, revenge, scandal, family heirlooms and the most important element of all — murder. While the story itself is absolutely on point, there is one gem that really does hold everything about this episode together — the exciting yet excruciatingly sad character of Simon Burrows.
