the struggle for control of the Roman Empire, and of Rome’s imperial family, from a rare female perspective. In its first season, Livia
Drusilla, the golden girl of the prominent Claudii family, returned to
Rome after 10 years in exile, determined to regain everything that was
stolen from her. Now, atop a fractious empire and a dysfunctional
dynasty, she must fight to preserve her marriage to Gaius and find a way
to seat one of her sons on the throne of the empire, as new and old rivals jockey for
position in a world where it’s impossible to know who to trust.

In a world of divisive politics and national discord, does the law still have meaning, or is everyone reverting to an older set of rules? And if so, why shouldn't Rebus do so too? Brian Ferguson has been cast as Rebus' brother Michael, Neshla Caplan as Michael's wife Chrissie, and Amy Manson as Rebus's ex-wife Rhona. Lucie Shorthouse will plaz Rebus' police partner DC Siobhan

Roman history has always attracted me since i was youth. I think Domina looks really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe first season was nice, looking forward to the second season.
DeleteBritish likes to name their tv series with the main character.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a Swedish series, but shot in English. Viaplay is Sweden's streamer which is going global and now streams around Europe, UK included and your country, methinks.
DeleteI don't have MGM+ as a streamer, which is too bad since I've always loved anything based on the Romans. I think I would really like Domina.
ReplyDeleteMGM Plus has good shows, so it is good to invest in it, bet it is not as expensive as Netflix.
