Those About to Die

Iwan Rheon’s acting in this is the best I’ve seen him, always giving believable performances even when the plot makes him work for it.

Centering around a 'Peaky Blinders' like plot, gambling is all the creators of this show did. As expected from an 'Emmerich' production, everything from the script, characters and acting was soaked in exciting disappointment. Both rich like an emperor and poor like a slave, 'Those About To Die' either has expensive production and cheap writing, or penniless production with wealthy writing. Unfortunately, unlike 'Game of Thrones', or 'Peaky Blinders', this fails to create star-like characters. As spectacular as it might've gotten, I wouldn't want a season 2. At least they made it a 'fictional' fantasy scattered with sex and gore.

This was soooo f goood!!!!

This was better than a meh, but not fully good either. It had promise but some of the execution (pun not intended) was poor. Some redeeming performances and a few interesting plot lines kept me watching.

8/10

Okay, but the last two episodes…🙃
