Breathtaking settings, brilliant costume design, and attention to even the smallest details of the Eternal City in the midst of its third-century decline really brought this world…

However, at their hearts, these three share the undeniable common theme of power - particularly the power of control - its limits and extremes.

The kind of control that extends beyond that over just money, sex, and reputation but control of who to influence, who…
