Thread Revival
I watched this series when it was current, cutting edge HBO. I have it on BluRay and we are up to episode 6 and the series is just as impressive as the first time! An all star cast, it’s Ray Stevenson’s best work than I am aware of, although he made an appearance in Dexter. James Purfoy, Kevin Mckidd, Polly Walker, Ciaran Hinds, and the entire cast are great.
Historical figures, mix with the serie’s fictional main characters, I believe it is historically accurate, the story starts with Julius Caesar, leading his legions across Gull, becomes perceived as a threat by his friend and rival Pompeii, the leader of Rome.
HBO cancelled the series after 2 seasons not because it was unpopular, they said it was too expensive to shoot in Italy on the same set where they filmed Cleopatra (I think), among other locals.
