In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Narrator states that Julius Caesar is stabbed on March 14th, thus reinventing history's Ides of March, being March 15.Unforgivable error

20 minutes into the second season and pretty much everything is wrong. That's really the only thing to say about this show. I'm not going to waste time listing it but it isn't just small inaccuracies in how the culture and world are portrayed. They literally got everything about their main character wrong, just rewrote his entire early life. The dramatized parts aren't particularly good either, imagine a very very low budget straight to video movie and you've got an idea of this shows quality. Have to wonder about the people they interview for this show, I'm guessing they're the lowest of the low in their field.

Usually I'm not compelled to crush historically inaccurate TV dramas or Movies. But this steaming pile of crap tries to pass itself off as being at least half documentary and half action drama, which on a side note is an absolutely preposterous and idiotic format that is so offputting and awkward it honestly never should have been released in this way, but I digress. But obviously the added documentary part of this series is clearly to legitimize the narrative and make it seem historically accurate, which it frankly rarely is. To me, this is quite insidious. It's one thing for Hollywood to over dramatize history or even misrepresent it in film, but in documentary? I honestly think this should be illegal.I will not cover all of the historical inaccuracies as many reviews already have, I will only address the massive one in the second season.For years now there has been this bizarre attempt to "brownwash" Cleopatra, despite there being very obvious reasons that she was indeed a Macedonian Greek. Usually revisionists, who almost never know anything about history, start from point A, which is literally that Cleopatra was from Egypt and was the queen of Egypt. Then, when given a history lesson and no real way around it, they claim, well we don't know who her mother was and the Greeks PROBABLY mixed with locals. Then, when educated even more about the incest within the Ptolemaic dynasty, that's when the real insidious players come out and say "who cares what race Cleopatra was?". It's truly unbelievable to see this full circle jerk unfold about the race of Cleopatra. Literally the only people who care are people who know absolutely NOTHING about history and buy into her being black or Egyptian simply because she lived there. Having set that up, not only does this show "brownwash" Cleopatra, they completely strip any connection Cleopatra and Ptolemy had with Greece and they are simply referred to as "Egyptians". Ptolemy, Cleopatra, and the people in their courts are all portrayed and referred to as Egyptians. The so-called "professors" that speak (all of which should be banned from teaching of any kind) in the documentary part of the show all refer to the Ptolemies as "the Egyptians" and talk about the long standing relationship that Rome had with....."the Egyptians". Folks, this is the literal equivalent of portraying George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ronald Regan as Native Americans, and completely disregarding their European roots. So what is the point of doing this? Why would they completely change history in a so-called documentary? I can't fathom why, it lent zero entertainment value and completely dis-Educated it's audience. The only reason this kind of revisionism passes in America is because of a purposeful attempt to disinterest Americans in real history. Really really sad.If this was simply a drama, I would actually be more ambivalent about it. But portraying yourself as a documentary and even having so-called college "professors" mis-portraying history? That's absolutely disgusting.

The fact that a Roman legion is depicted fighting out of formation like a bunch crazy people really bothered me. Instantly ruined it for me within the first 2 minutes.
