This review is being posted after seeing the end of season 1, and will be edited later.
This is the equivalent of game of thrones when it comes to being too hyped up. However unlike the first season of that show it does not try to keep you watching with sex scenes, which is nice to see these days. To be fair there are a few nudity scenes, but the longest one lasts about 20 seconds and that was a ritual. First let's get one thing out of the way: This is inspired by history, but is nowhere near historically accurate. What caught my attention right from the start is that the romans actually speak latin. There are minor mistakes here and there, but WOW. That alone is why i will continue watching. In other areas i find this show lacking, but mostly because i went in expecting a huge battle with romans fighting and trying to get in formation for longer than one minute.
In short: If you think game of thrones was good at some point, this is a must watch. Just don't come in expecting much and you won't be dissapointed much.
