I loved, loved, loved this show! Granted, it took a while to get through all 56 episodes, but it was well worth it. There are some flaws in production, e.g., I noticed a couple of clips from scenes were reused in a few episodes, but I am sure that had to do with budget, rather than any lack of creativity. I, personally, did not find the age difference between Anna and Yakov hard to embrace for purposes of their budding romantic relationship. It makes sense for the period in which the series takes place. All the other areas in this production were superlative, from the sets/scenes, to the costumes, to the writing, and to the acting. I, too, searched the Internet for information about season two or three (?), and found a wonderful update on Dimitriy Frid's Facebook page. He indicated they had started filming again in early March, but discontinued a couple of weeks later, presumably due to the coronavirus. I hope they begin filming again as soon as the Russian "safer at home" orders are lifted. In any event, I rewatched all 56 episodes, fast forwarding through much of it. The ending was truly a gritty, suspenseful cliffhanger, and I am eagerly awaiting additional episodes for resolution of all the intrigue, subplots, and relationships. Specifically, what's up with Jean Lasalle and his last words / scene with Anna? What's up with Anton, and his last words spoken out of earshot of Anna? What's up with Dr. Miilts, and his relationships with Alice / others. What's up with the Prince and his duel / last scene with Anna? Most importantly, what's up with the 'matchless' Yakov Shtolman?
