s01e01 — Nero

Caesar is average, like Pompey, but Mark Anthony is no good at all. I didn't like the cast, I think it could have been better.
The poor crossing of the Rubicon by twenty soldiers was disappointing...
It's strange that Caesar's rise to power was stretched out for 50 minutes, and his entire reign and death were put in two minutes. Where is it about what he actually did? Or are all Caesar's achievements, in the opinion of the creators, a usurpation of power?
It's interesting how they introduced the main characters. But there was no such thing in the Nero series. And in this series, it didn't play out in any way, why would you do that?
