James Jackson The Times (UK) 10/24/2022
As a work of semi-fiction, it remains unusual for being a German series that’s ruthlessly patriotic about its national history. Go to Full Review
John Serba Decider 10/25/2022
There’s a serious eye for detail here that helps the simple, somewhat soapy melodrama go down. Go to Full Review

Monty T @RT13239560 03/31/2025 Almost as good as the first season, looking forward to the third! See more Rodriguez F @RT60168111 02/25/2025 The message ruining another show, don’t bother. See more streng g @RT58237425 12/24/2023 Season 1 was ...ok Season 2 is "ein großer dampfender Haufen". See more Simon F @RT67726232 05/26/2023 Not reaching the heights of 'Vikings' or 'The Last Kingdom' - this is still worth watching and enjoyable with some fabulous production values. It's a fictional account of how the German tribes defeated the Romans (remember that first battle in Gladiator?). I love that the Romans speak 'Latin' and the German tribes (modern) German. Season 1 feels a bit rushed but Season 2 spends more time with the characters and is all the better for it. I really hope there is a Season 3! See more Marc Z @TKDLife 01/02/2023 A really engaging and exciting look at the Roman occupation of Germany around the end of the reign of Augustus Cesar. This one, being a German production, is from the perspective of the occupied instead of the Romans. The characters are compelling. The visuals are that of a well budgeted show. Same with the acting, costumes, cinematography, and directing. This is movie grade stuff. It is violent and adult. There are some holes in the storylines, where there is a default to modern romantic themes but all in all historically interesting and relatively accurate. You don't need to have watched the first season to appreciate the second season. See more Kukemax @RT76873459 12/24/2022 Good second season, entertaining. If you liked the first one you won't be deceived. See more Read all reviews
