John Anderson Wall Street Journal 06/03/2021
Viewers might want to break out the XXL togas, because Domina does run a bit hot, and certainly fierce. Go to Full Review Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/21/2021

More Wake Me Up Before You Toga than Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall. It was fun but it felt a minor miracle that everyone involved managed to keep a straight face. Go to Full Review Katie Rosseinsky London Evening Standard 05/17/2021
3/5
The combination of high drama and even higher production values is always an appealing one, making this an entertaining spin on ancient Rome, given depth by its compelling heroine. Go to Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media 10/11/2023
3/5
While the romance and intrigue of Domina have soap opera-like allure, the series veers into excessive and unnecessary graphic content. Go to Full Review Alachia Queen Alachia Queen 09/29/2023

The perfect companion show to HBO's Rome. The series is packed with drama, intrigue, and political scheming all set at the fall of the Roman Republic. A must watch hidden gem. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator 07/19/2021
We're not going to get another I, Claudius, are we? We're not even going to get another Rome. It's all over for western civilisation -- and Domina is but the latest proof. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Shaggy D Oct 17 There is a lot to like here. The story, inspired by true events is epic, digging deeper in the political landscape of Rome. Unfortunately the execution isn't quite the best. A bit too hyper focused. But overall it is a solid drama. See more Pete S @Petefilm66 Sep 4 If you like historical faction you will simply love this. Great character development, great acting, well balanced and paced story. See more Ja H 01/04/2025 Acting is good in many places but the sex and gore takes away from the plot in my opinion. See more Paolo F 01/01/2025 It is foolish not to bring this masterpiece to a proper end with the ascent of tiberius and her final days. Shame for terminating this production after season 2, which is even better than season 1. See more Mel M 11/30/2023 Loved it. Clever and believable. Just as it should be See more Simon G 08/15/2023 Very interesting to know that some of these plots did happened in real life, perhaps not a 100% true but close enough to be mind boggling. The detailed settings add up to the realism of the show. See more Read all reviews
