The drama is about the history of Pompeii, Caesar, and Octavian in ancient Rome. The times are restored to be much more accurate than our costume dramas. In fact, there are no big scenes that come easily in our costume dramas, but it involves politics. , military, social form and other levels, there are a lot of rich life details, even in the medium and close-up scenes of the characters' dialogues, it will show a strong atmosphere of the times, which shows the maturity and exquisiteness of its production technology.
There is so much to learn from the characterization and narrative: the teenage Octavian has laid a solid foreshadowing for the emperor's road behind him in the first season; Anthony is on his way back to Rome from the battlefield. The appearance of the army waiting for him and the shepherdess Yehe is very unique and interesting; Pompeii encounters the centurion Lucius on the escape route, the two discuss the war, and the whole scene where Lucius finally releases Pompeii is very moving; Polo , Lucius and Cleopatra are also very interesting; Brutus, who was stumped by fate and always caught in contradictions and struggles, is also very accurate; Caesar's multi-faceted character is even more unspeakable; The relationship between Luo and Lucius is also a point of interest. The direct and brainless Polo is really a Roman hero... Heroes, beauties, conspiracies, love, the bloodthirsty and indulgence of the Romans, this drama integrates these plots The essential elements of the film are used very carefully, so that it is never boring and stereotyped, and it is really good to tell history in this way.
The first season has only just begun, and I believe it will become more and more good-looking. I guess the cooperation with the BBC is of great help to this series in terms of cultural quality :-)
What is more depressing is that I heard that the first episode The second season won't be released until 2007.
