Working with Latin language ads a nice layer but in contrast modern German? Sounds rather funny and somehow does not fit. Entering the Roman camp one is credible taken. It looks like the real stuff. Fine costumes, look and feel is definitely good. Germans on the other hand, show 5 huts from the top, a very small Village just does not create the feeling of reality. At the wedding of Herman, he gets 2000 warriors as present. Where are they staying? The whole German part looks like small theater "Kammer Theater" not Big Screen. The Battle itself. Well they are trying but a bit more choreo and a good action coach would have helped a lot. The storyline is quiet simple and one could have hoped for a bit more sophistication. At least tell it more subtle. The roman actors are enjoyable and credible. The older German actors obviously believe they are in a play. The younger ones like Tusnelda, Herman and wolfs Speer quiet ok. I do beliefe they could have done better given more space and a better story. And there is season two, to my surprise.

Good story if u dont know much about the subject. Characters are not great but the young ones are fresh unused and credible. The story cant decide if it should be thriller or science but has great pace nothing surprising realy. Great locations and a surprising carelessness dealing with dna and its possibilities. Cant judge if the science is correct but sounds realistic. All in all good entertainment but no need for this end. Not all series need a second one.
