Ready your quardriga and place your bets as we race to the finish of Movies We Dig Season 4! We end the season with the most recent series depicting ancient Rome, Peacock’s Those About to Die. Oddly enough, there’s not a single Julio-Claudian in sight. That’s right, new imperial family=new opportunities to plot and scheme your way to the top! And if anyone can pull it off, it’s Ramsey Bol…excuse us, its Tenax and company. It’s time to “Rise or Die!” (sigh). Anyone else getting a strong sense of déjà vu here?
And whenever we see a gladiator, you know we have the call in our good friend and Roman spectacle specialist, Alexandra Sills! Does a show about Roman entertainment manage to entertain a modern audience? Let’s find out!
