Have you watched it yet Sup Forums?

it sucked
based sun god
I saw it recently, at first it was difficult to watch with the shitty sets but then it paid off
Absolute pleb
While cinema is in a obvious decline, and has been for 20-30 years, tv has only gotten better. I don't think anything has surpassed I, Claudius, but it's only a matter of time. The mini series War and Peace, along with The Young Pope have shown that telekino can still be produced.
WATCH IT CLAU-CLAU
what show is this? googled I clavdivs and got nothing
Is it worth watching if I know nothing of roman history?
Is before or after Caesar crashed the republic with no survivors?
How can someone be THIS plebeian.
Right after, it's the history of the first family of Emperors. FUcked up lads to be honest
>Is it worth watching if I know nothing of roman history?
Yes. It may make you more interested in roman history than anything.
>Is before or after Caesar crashed the republic with no survivors?
After. It starts off well into the reign of Augustus. It actually works pretty well watching it as a sequel to HBO's Rome
yes
I wanted to watch this for the longest time.
It's after Julius Ceasar, during Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius reigns, mostly from the point of view of Claudius.
Chronologically speaking it would be decades after HBO's Rome ending, so you might want to watch that before if it's in your backlog.
Caligula reign episodes > Augustus Reign episodes > Tiberius reign episodes > Claudius reign episodes
They're all GOAT though

Only patricians allowed in this thread
This was pretty gruesome for 1976 BBC
Blu ray never
Could they even convert it to HD?
It's actually a great intro to Roman history. Just know that Augustus beat Marc Antony at a place called Actium after Julius Caesar died and civil war had broken out. He was helped by his friend Marcus Aggrippa. That's all you need to know for the first episode, and honestly, you don't even really need to know that. It's a good show.
