Romulus

Yes, I admit, for me it is one of the best series from the last decade. I am subjective, off course. But Romulus is just brilliant. For the wise use of the bricks of legends and myths. For the courage ad full virtue to use archaic Latin , giving high credibility to storytelling nd seducing generations of people for who this language represents a part of life and memories. For impecable acting - and I remind, again and again, the admirable job of Francesco Di Napoli and Marianna Fontana. Not the last for the escape from the circle of cliches. No doubts, a great series.

It is untraditional in a bold way, beautifully filmed, good acting. Costumes, scenography and nature play well together. Teeth and fingernails are yellow and black. It's raw and not very pretty, but at the time I think life was too. Please continue the good work, I would rather follow Romulus than so much else. I really hope there comes a season 2!!!

Were should I start? They speak old Latin, not English or Italian. It's based more on history than myth, despite the name. Throughout the story you are given little bits and pieces to help understand the origin of the myth. There's no magic stuff. Things that happen might be interpreted by the characters as divine or as a sign from the gods but aren't really. And as some critical reviews have stated, the story is a bit "shallow", or rather not filled with uninteresting love affairs and other Hollywood-esce side stories. It's straight to the point. Oh, and I almost forgot, the acting is great. No over acting what so ever.

Superb production values, the acting is tremendous, (especially Wiros and Yemos and Ilia), Each episode is thrilling. A fully realized world with wonder, myth and excitement. I especially like the attention to details on the multiple gods and religions, and how it played such a strong role in everyday life.. The Numi are fascinating and fierce, no wonder Rome became dominant with their blood coursing through the early empire. This show is magnificent, and to top it off MOKADELIC does the music and they can do no wrong.....(see Gomorrah the series for their music) Keep it up Italy you beat Hollywood at their own game with this series and Gomorrah.

The fact alone that this entire show is in Latin is impressive, and that it don't slide into an overtly cheesy flow, like so many other historical shows, is also great.

I have no idea why so many people gave it a low rating. But people as a whole are stupid (the list of garbage shows with high viewer ratings is long), and often motivated to give their impression of shows from bias, and expectations that are silly.

So far I like the show a lot, ITunes needs to acquire it so I can give them money.
