Review by eggshell-2

Already the trailer gave some weird vibes but still decided to give it a chance. Two episodes in and the level of fakeness is just through the roof. It's like they kept the first take on every scene. Overacting and unconvincing characters all over the place. Even the extras seem fake. There are some unintentionally funny scenes where extras are pretending to do everyday stuff in the background.

The indoor scenes seem overly produced. Trying to get a dramatic look they overlit everything so it looks completely unnatural. The CGI is pretty embarassing for 2024 and it doesn't look like they lacked the budget.

This makes Spartacus Blood and Sand look like Shakespearean theater. I felt second hand embarassment for Anthony Hopkins. He just doesn't belong here.
