Romulus - 2020 - Italy

Romulus - 2020 - 6/10

Boldly imaginative take on the founders of Rome.
Note.  This is pre-Rome.  No coliseums, no columns.  Straw huts and animal skins.

 
Straight off, I was baffled.  Who were these characters?  Plus, there were so many!
Not to worry, characters are drawn in broad strokes, and a fair percentage are killed early on.
After awhile, I was glad I stayed with this, as I perceived what the producers were doing.
Big points there.  The final episode, however, proved deeply unsatisfying to most.
Latin majors, rejoice!  Ten episodes, spoken in the Classical language!
