Review of Domina

Domina (2021–2023)
7/10
No gladiators but an intelligent woman
2 August 2021
I'm guessing the people who don't like this is because they are men and wanted lots of fighting, wars and gladiator stuff. Well no this is history seen from a strong woman's point of view.

Yes she was real and yes from what I know, all the events portrayed in this show actually did happen. So yes the language is modern, so what? You want them to speak in Latin? I mean it is not in an English speaking time or place so might as well use modern English.

Costumes are pretty accurate. I'm not saying it is a historical documentary but those who are saying that it isn't historically accurate are just upset because of the lack of fighting and lack of real nudity (even if there are a few breasts and bums).

I found the power dynamics very interesting. The way she manipulates the people around her, the way despite people not marrying for love she managed to get her husband soon love with her that he stays by her side through it all. . I like the evolution of her son tybireus. Itjink season 2 will be very exciting.
