Wow what a show!! I’m simply blown away. Every character is so well written such that everyone has heir flaws and you cannot root for any single one . Shame that it was cancelled by HBO in just 2 seasons.
I’m missing the characters already -
Voreneus- Man of principle but short tempered. Despite his flaws his loyalty till the very end is something I loved about him.
Mark Anthony - One of the funniest character. The actor did a damn good job
Ceaser - Fierce, intelligent , brave. I absolutely loved how he treated Cicero and Brutus after they surrendered to him. Only to be betrayed by them.
Atia: Though very immoral but damn cunning and willing to do anything to get power and at the end even got it
Servilla: This is a complex one. One side of mind absolutely hate her for using Atia’s children and even her own son to seek her revenge. She was so damn hypocritical while persuading Brutus in killing Ceaser to save “The republic”. But my other mind has sympathy for her as she has to endure so much torture by Atia and even lost her son. And even when Atia started the whole conflict between them.
Special shoutout to the newsreader. His antics and way of delivery was so good.
And at last my favourite character Titus Pullo His character development is one of the best that I’ve ever see. Though every character had some qualities which I liked but Titus Pullo outdoed them all. The friendship between Voreneus and him is just chef’s kiss. RIP Ray Stevenson 😔
