Roman Empire (2016–2019)
7/10
Its a new direction for Netflix - taking on the History Channel
29 January 2017
This is a historical docudrama. I like these a lot. PBS, the BBC, the CBC and a few other large television organizations have been making these kinds of projects for generations. Recently the History channel has waded into this area with both feet. However their content is sensationalized, often to the point of only concentrating on salacious tidbits of history. Much of that content seems to be highly repetitive with much built up suspense for what will be revealed after the next commercial break.

I have stopped watching the History channel docudramas for these particular reasons. I am thankful that my appetite for interesting historical dramas (un-sensationalized) is being met by Netflix in what I hope will be one of many.

Keep it up.

Put your children in front of it too.

Lighten that cable bill.
