This epic 16-part series gives a look at what happened two generations after Genghis Khan swept through what is now Russia and the lands of the Steppes. As long as you don't depend on it for historical accuracy, you won't be disappointed. Intrigue, action, romance, spirituality mingle with complex characters, sumptuous costumes, fine cinematography and acting, and a gorgeous soundtrack to make this an unforgettable period piece. A little improbably soapy at times, but extra points for very strong female characters, including Julia Stiles' doppelganger. We will watch it again.
