Seeing Anthony Hopkins I was hoping for a great show but unfortunately it's just not. Show is trying to be something like Rome or Spartacus but its missing on all fronts. There were few good actors, but some of them were just plain bad. The script is plain or 'cheap', mostly boring conversations, predictable story. The CGI is not good, and in all the cases rule should be: 'If you don't have money for top CGI, just don't do any CGI'. And for the end, we again are having gays and lesbians and their stories, like I give a f***. Just for that woke pushing in every tv show or a movie it drops in quality almost automatically because they are taking time and focus from an actual story to push their agenda we are not asking for or want.
Read the whole review on TMDBIn spite of high production values, Those About to Die is an historical fiction. This is sensationalist, at times woke, fare, that deviates, often by a large margin,from historical fact. For viewers who are not bothered by historical accuracy, its an okay watch but it does raise questions as to why there is a need to revise history, as its actually written. In summary, revisionist, classical history knock off, fictional action series.
