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!!!!

A divisive and raw series, especially in the last episodes. It creates a kind of confusion in who to support. Not suitable for the weak of stomachs since there are raw scenes of killings. And also respect the history line

it was ok, but i don't like who they chose to play Caesar, ugh

6,5/10
It has potential with the different perspectives and goals of the characters, but for me it ends up being a C-tier game of thrones wannabe.
