Romulus

This series is actually really good. Its thrilling in each episode. I didnt have a single dull moment in this series. It really captures the feeling of living in the early stages of man setting up communitys in the northen italy. Historians cant tell us that much about this sertain period in history, the story about romulus and remus is an exciting myth and I really must give creeds to the person who wrote this series. I really love the angle they spinn the story from.

Actors are preforming great. The only downside is the fact that you can tell the spending on this series didnt get the full attention it should have. Dont get me wrong. Its well filmed and produced from the budget I asume they used, who was probably in the lower limit. This series deserved alot more attention and unfortunatly I belive it gets brushed away by the fact that they talk italian, and not english. Which in my eyes is just sad. I really hope we get to see a season 2 but i doubt it since it doesnt really seem to hit the wider audience.

Good job on this series. I loved it. I hope I get to see more in the future.

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!!!

First off, you can't imagine how pleased i was to find out this was not a Netflix production. Another complete desecration of culture and history was averted. Secondly, if you have the attention span of a bird and not really interested in mythology or history then you're better off watching the awful "Barbarians" on Netflix. Some people seem to complain about the low budget on this production, however this show holds up better than most cash laden soulless US productions. It's very unique, immersive and has charm.

The show is based on Roman mythology and the period preceding the foundation of Rome or "Ruma" around the 8th century BC. So don't expect to see Roman legions or the Colosseum. It's a different approach to the mythological story of Remus and Romulus, the founders of Ancient Rome.

It was interesting to see an Italian production tackle its own history/mythology. You need to give it an episode or two before you get invested in the story but it eventually pays off. The quality of the acting, the visuals, the use of old latin, the gritty and ominous tone all combine to immerse you in an archaic time most of us know very little about. The story is based on a myth but never delves into the supernatural. There is no magic and the old roman gods never reveal themselves on screen but are interpreted by the main characters through dreams, which kind of grounds the story.

I regret they did not show more day to day life aspects of that period and the last episode was a little anti-climactic but it seems like there will be a second season so i hope to change my rating to an 8 or 9 in future. Not as good as Rome, different of course but overall better than most garbage on TV at the moment. Well done Italy.

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.
