This is one of those shows that are so hidden in pay TV that people will probably miss out on the show but i watched it and i just have to say i am impressed. It's a really, really good show. The actors are really great (besides young Octavian in the first two episodes) and i think it gives a fresh take on the internal struggle within the early Julo-Claudi dynasty. How messed up they all are and Livia really is a monster, but a charming one. This is how you make a historical series about a strong women without making a fuss about it and loosing your way.
