Warning the programme has a fair amount of blood and gore in but what would you expect from an ancient monuments that was essentially a killing field. An interesting watch that draws you in from the off. The full premise is from the rise of Rome to its peak with the "Good Emperor's" (ending with Marcus Aurelius) .. The strey how in essence the Colosseum was used as Emperor's "Fox News" IE propaganda machine to keep the mob happy. Episodes are 45minutes long .. I watched on the BBC iPlayer so didn't have the problem with adverts 👍 If you enjoy your history dramatised and told in an episodic manner you will enjoy this series.
