A new series on Amazon Prime. We're at episode 2, 1st season.
If you don't get too picky about some obvious production flaws...
like the Romans, the Cantii, the Regni and the Druids all speaking with the same English accent, it's fun.
What was it that made Julius Caesar turn around and head home 90 years earlier? We get the drift before the 1st episode is done.
The Druids are the ones that make it interesting. What kind of dark spirit magic do they work? They look like hold-overs from a vampire movie, minus the long canines. So far no blood sucking.
Creepy in a fun way and not too closely tied to any historical fact.
