It is far from being a masterpiece . But it is definitely entertaining and some episodes even show glimpses of something that could be great but it does need some work . (Vespasian) played by Anthony Hopkins was a good idea, but i feel like they did not really use his him in the right way needed a lot more screen-time . Jo Jo Mocari did a great job with portraying (Domitian) he in my opinion delivered the best performance on the show, his acting was super he really tried to bring his character to live.
Iwan Rheon (Tenax) also did a great job, his character being the criminal who had a bad child-hood. He played his role perfect at times i felt sorry for him and he seemed like a good guy who needs to do bad things . But then he does things that makes you question him . Exactly what his character is supposed to do .
Sarah martin (Cala) she is a good actress and she also did here best with the character she played but at times it is confusing because here French accent kind of takes away from who she is playing . Nevertheless still a good effort by here it is mainly here accent that takes away from here performance .
Moe Hashin (kwame) was great to watch his bond with the Gladiator from the north was great, both really fulfilled their part on the show.
If there is going to be a season 2 they should spend more time building the characters and diving into the backgrounds and storylines . Because the storylines were all over the place, a lot of unnecessary love story's that are not finished or come out of the blue and then seem rushed .so overall the show lacked episodes storylines seem not finishend and rushed to fit into 10 episodes and not explored enough.
