Storyline

- TriviaAccording to witnesses, the Romanov daughters did indeed survive the first hail of bullets of the firing squad. It was discovered that this was because they had sewn so many jewels into the lining of their clothes in anticipation of their escape, they served as makeshift bulletproof vests. They were subsequently bayoneted to death.
- GoofsThe opening indicates the action takes place in 1917. Consideration by the British to send a ship to evacuate the Romanovs from Russia occurred in the spring of 1917, when the provisional Russian government was still in power. The scene shifts to Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg, Siberia, where the Tsar and Tsarina speak of their cousin, King George, sending a ship to rescue the Imperial family. The Romanovs were imprisoned and later executed in the Ipatiev House by the Bolsheviks (who were then in power) in the summer of 1918, more than a year later, by which time the Tsar and Tsarina were well aware that the British were not sending a ship to rescue them. Moreover, Ekaterinburg is thousands of miles away from any seaport.

Featured review
Could've been better.
I always feel as though filmmakers have a genuine duty to be very careful with the manner in which they depict violence on screen & therefore, every creative decision taken behind the camera needs to be carefully considered & have sufficient justification in order to excuse it as "reasonable" etc. Hence, despite the requirement to convey a certain level of horror or really emphasise the brutality of historically accurate events (that are visually re-enacted for the audience, in order to visually depict narratively relevant information, pertaining to the direction this episode chooses to take), it's also wise to not veer in to sensationalism by lensing these atrocities in a potentially voyeuristic or needlessly gratuitous way, so as to remain respectful etc. & Therefore, to me, it's quite odd how nothing within the rest of this installment arguably does anything to realistically condone the shockingly portrayed murder captured in the pre-titles sequence here; although the depravity of what occured should obviously not be shied away from, it's equally important to not be triggering & consequently, despite "Ipatiev House" exploring the long lasting consequences of something which should definitely have been addressed within the confines of the series, I'm not sure I ironically approve of the execution, regardless of my liking of the original idea / intention. Thus, it may be interesting & informative... Yet it's perhaps not very tastefully done - as everything following the opening is so restrained, having such an undisciplined & crassly done scene seemed jarringly out of place, in comparison.
