In spite of high production values, Those About to Die is an historical fiction. This is sensationalist, at times woke, fare, that deviates, often by a large margin,from historical fact. For viewers who are not bothered by historical accuracy, its an okay watch but it does raise questions as to why there is a need to revise history, as its actually written. In summary, revisionist, classical history knock off, fictional action series.

Seeing Anthony Hopkins I was hoping for a great show but unfortunately it's just not. Show is trying to be something like Rome or Spartacus but its missing on all fronts. There were few good actors, but some of them were just plain bad. The script is plain or 'cheap', mostly boring conversations, predictable story. The CGI is not good, and in all the cases rule should be: 'If you don't have money for top CGI, just don't do any CGI'.
