Mildly enjoyable load of rubbish.

It was mildly entertaining but I don't think that it knew what it was.

As a drama it was pretty good but as a historical documentary it was pretty bad.

I don't get hung up over trivialities like what sort of jugs the Romans used to drink from, whether the costumes were right and whether Rome looked like that.

But since this was made on a shoestring budget (and it shows) then it does need to represent the facts with a reasonable degree of veracity, and having five or six talking heads to try and bolster that veracity eventually pisses me off since they insert the short soundbite interviews to give the story some credence which it doesn't deserve.

Either go for a documentary with re-enactments of stuff which we know to be true, or just make stuff up to create a compelling drama.

This was neither, although I did spend 6 hours watching it because it was entertaining enough to keep me hooked.

6/10 seems like a fair rating since to me then 5/10 is average and this was slightly better than average, but not much.

If this is the way that drama-docs are going then it's better than most, but that's not saying much.

Hmm..maybe I should have posted this as a review.
