<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thejewk, post: 3447662, member: 100136&quot;]I watched the first episode of that Commodus series on Netflix and couldn&#039;t get past the hysterical grasping at the most salacious reading from each source and then magnifying them by a hundred. Faustina running off to rut with Cassius, Commodus as a pretty boy in his mid twenties before his father&#039;s death, Faustina dramatically drinking poison in camp directly after seeing Marcus after her &#039;affair&#039;. The whole thing was a mess, comically supported by &#039;historians&#039; doing their talking head routines .</p><p><br /></p><p>Gladiator is nonsense, but at least it had some merit in pacing and drama.&nbsp; Even without all the faults, the Commodus program was bad melodrama at best .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
