Saw that. Good show.
A few comments. Nero pulled Suetonius Paulinus out because he was too harsh with the Britons. The Romans wanted a peaceful province that paid taxes, not a desolation with no people.
I don’t hink Paulinus was responsible for the attack on Boadicea and her daughters originally.
Read about the Battle of Cannae. Hannibal did pretty much the same thing to the Romans that they did to the Celts.
You have to remember that the Celts were warriors, not professional soldiers. Under the right commander, professional soldiers always beat warriors. Sort of like comparing the Spartans to the Athenians.
If you are interested in the Roman Army and its organization, read some books By Adrian Goldsworthy. They are great.

In New Zealand the Maori were (and are) warriors, and the British were professional soldiers. The Maori were never decisively beaten.
