Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe star in this darkly comic four-part drama, following the life of a young provincial doctor in pre-revolutionary Russia. Based on the semi-autobiographical memoirs of Russian writer and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov, the series recalls the experiences of a post-WWII doctor, Vladimir Bomgard (Hamm), as he looks back to the time when he worked in the village of Muryovo in 1917. As he confronts long-held doubts about his own competence and ability during this time, Vladimir revisits his former life and offers sarcastic nuggets of wisdom to his younger self (Radcliffe).
