Romulus

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.

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!!!

Having watched first two episodes.....(there are 8 more to come) I have to say I was hooked by this series which were a surprise to me as they were serious about re-telling the legend of the twins in a different light thru the eyes of three different people who lived in that era. the acting was good and serious and u get action scenes and the story before the twins are born. we get to see at first how ammulius becomes the king and tries to kill the sons of his blinded brother and former king of alba longa. there are also some naked beautiful sex scenes and beautiful women too in the mix. we only have two episodes but I think the rest will follow the story in the same captivating way. at some point ilia (rhea) the daughter of the former king will give birth to the twins and from there we will go on...... if u are a fan of ancient rome's history - mythology then u should watch this series which are ages better than the atrocious and boring "Britanica" tv series. on the plus is that even the audio is not in English nor in Italian BUT in archaic latin so to be more...realistic.

For starters I give this a grade between B- and B (7,5) and i'm excited for next week's episodes 3 and 4. there are two episodes each week. as it seems this is a worthy series about the twins so check it out.

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.

I'm honestly baffled. The show is masterfully done. The costumes, colors, cinematography, action sequences - everything is top notch. They even speak archaic latin!!! Acting is stellar, and the story is compelling - I was surprised a couple of times by the story going totally against clichés and being genuinely captivating, which is less and less common nowadays. I have no idea what's going to happen next (apart from the founding of Rome, obviously - but at this moment of a story, it's impossible to tell how exactly it'll unfold, which is great). I love it, and I appreciate an extremely hard work that must have gone into creating the series. Huge congratulations to all involved, the show is simply spectacular!! I'm hooked, I'll be watching and keeping my fingers crossed for season 2. I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it, you won't be disappointed.
