“Barbarians”
I like that netflix does historic stuff, from what I read about them afterwords they appear to get them pretty accurate. Enjoyed Ottoman, Knightfall (Crusaders back in France), Barbarians and currently The Serpent about a mass murderer in the Far East during the 1970s.
There is a semi accurate series on Netflix right now. Can’t think of the name. Three short seasons. Caligula, Caesar, and Commodus. It really glosses over the context but good stuff and entertaining.
Ottoman I haven’t seen yet. What’s it about? I can guess via the name but its probably more then that. I did not like Knightfall, deviated far far too much from what’s known regarding Templar history.
I watched “The Serpent” last month at my daughter’s recommendation. It was a fascinating show, part murder mystery (but you know who did it), part detective story (with no detectives), part Manson Cult, part Inspector Javert / Ahab persistence to capture an adversary, part global politics with incompetent and feckless diplomats only interested in not rocking the boat.
