"Nero" is yet another DEI romp where the male lead is quickly "throttled" from relevance by a, surprise, surprise mysterious and all powerful, nefarious, "one eyed" (bit of inadvertent symbolism there perhaps?) female villain. Worse still, the overarching story feels stilted, awkward and frankly, rather boring. Acting and sets are reasonable but in isolation, that doesn't fix all the things, I personally, feel are wrong, with this series. In summary, all the elaborate historical trappings in the world can't compensate for unrelenting and wholly unrealistic, revisionism. I'm sure the mainstream critics will crow about this series (don't they always) but really its the viewers who matter and they, like me, may be more discerning, than they are given credit for being.
