The showrunners almost certainly would've gone a lot slower if they had more episodes, but i think they did pretty well given the constraint. That cliffhanger at the end of last episode was such a fakeout though. That said, they really didn't need to include this extra side story with the jewish family if they knew they had limited time. I liked the actor who played Octavian so the recasting was a bit annoying, but they had to do it if they were going to cover several years in 1 season with a character who was a teenager at the start - i just don't think he looks similar enough so it's rather jarring. Because Julius Caesar had been declared a god by this point, Octavian was going by "Caesar divi fillius" at this point, "Caesar, son of the god," a pretty bold choice of name! If all the battles weren't off screen to save budget, you'd see Agrippa was the general who basically won that battle while Octavian hid in his tent, instead we just see Agrippa acting like a massive simp for Octavian's sister xD The "a confession by a slave is only legal if they're tortured" thing was real and very silly as it applied to witnessing against your master in general - so if a slave told you that their master wanted you dead, you had to torture them or it wasn't valid, which deterred slaves who would otherwise have warned people from coming forward. I dunno how harshly they tortured slaves in those cases though - sometimes, a slave would warn someone their master wanted to kill them (hoping for a reward) and the slave would be tortured by the person they just warned, who would free and reward the slave they just had tortured!

History is not kind to people like Agrippa, is it? Imagine living a whole assed life where you accomplished many great things, and then, 1,000 years later you're a mere footnote simp assed lame in a depiction of the time period. I'd come back and haunt the filmmakers.
