1) The plot is very catchy, with Zhang Youchi not procrastinating, it is a type of combination of fierce political struggle and the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of small people. The background of the times is the period of great changes in Rome from the Republic to the Empire;
2) The actors are good, Kai Sa is my favorite Ciaran Hinds, who plays the Russian president in The Sum of All Fears. He is a scheming leader. The young Octavian played by Max Pirkis, who had played the role of a small British officer in the raging sea. He showed the genius and gloom of the future first citizen of Rome very well. Actresses not to say every episode someone dew point ah, the Roman custom of really ......
3) details of the attractive performance I've seen in the history of the Roman Empire in the movie, the first time the lives of ordinary people Bring the screen. The cavalry fights on horses without stirrups, dirty markets and streets, the salaries and rewards of soldiers and the life of the rear army, the details of the banquets of the nobles, etc., in terms of atmosphere creation and detailed performance, TV dramas dominate;
4 ) The director of the first season has directed 007 Black Sun Crisis, has directed several episodes of Sex and the City and the X-Files, and the screenwriter has written about Desperate Wife and NYPD BLUE. The lineup is good and it is worth continuing to look forward to!
