Definitely worth the watch.
Started off slow, some of the scenes seemed unnecessary and somewhat poorly written, although as it progressed I became more and more embroiled in the characters and drama. I'm most definitely the target audience, as I love shows based on Ancient Rome and violence. I'd suggest giving the series a chance to at least over half way to fully appreciate the character development. I can't wait for season two now, I really hope they actually continue it. Some of the reviews claim it's tacky/cringe/a-historical, which at some points it can be, but if you're interested in Ancient Rome I'd definitely suggest watching! A strong 7-8/10 for me.
