The implementation of the dramatic aspect and the depiction of events had a significant weakness. This was evident in several aspects, starting from the poorly executed and repetitive decorations, backgrounds, and clothing of the characters. Some characters appeared in the same clothes and hairstyle despite the time gap of ten years or more, and some even wore costumes that were not historically accurate. Additionally, most of the actors who played the role of Roman soldiers had ill-fitting suits. The photography was also unimpressive, lacking creativity in adding momentum to certain scenes and being repetitive in some instances, like Mark Anthony's scenes. Lastly, the acting of most of the actors was poor, with some of them seeming to focus more on the camera than their roles.

Extremely poor attempt of a documentary
raulmatryx12 May 2023
This has to be the worst attempt of a documentary that I've seen. From the get go you get the impression that Jada didn't do her homework and the portrait of events and beginning of the story telling is dreadful and boring. There is not much the actors can do... I mean they are just following a bad written script. This is another example of what will happen if you hire someone that has no experience in producing/directing/managing. Queen Cleo is such an icon and she's literally celebrated every where in the world, but unfortunately there is no flavour to this documentary... no magic or suspense, no nothing. Just incoherent and wrong timeliness of events. I have waited my time watching the firs episode. Don't bother.
