Critic Reviews of "I, Claudius - Season 1"
Philadelphia InquirerApril 16, 2019The show appeals (and continues to appeal) to us on many levels: the lust for power, the grandeur of Rome, and the mystery of who would or would not survive. It was an ancient Melrose Place and Desperate Housewives rolled into one.
indieWireApril 15, 2019Brilliant is often a misused word, but the splendid performances of Derek Jacobi as Claudius and Sian Phillips as Livia -- as deft with flattery and blackmail as with her vials of poison -- are flawless.
Daily Telegraph (UK)April 16, 2019No crowds are visible, which makes everything feel a bit like a school play. But that claustrophobia sometimes creates amazing intensity, with richly textured drama expressed through dialogue and subtle performance alone.
Washington PostApril 16, 2019Though it may actually defy basic properties and capabilities of the medium, this latest import to march under the Masterpiece Theater banner proves immensely, compulsively watchable. It's so good it's a little embarrassing.
New York TimesApril 16, 2019A fiendishly sophisticated concoction of Roman history, political intrigues, murderous ambitions and consuming passions. In this BBC/London Film Productions venture, they add up to fascinating spectacle and perhaps, with fitting perversity, great fun.
EspinofApril 16, 2019A series that deserves to be seen at least once in life. [Full Review in Spanish]
PopMattersApril 16, 2019The highbrows can enjoy the history and the literati can feast on Jack Pulman's witty dialogue, while there's more than enough treachery, bloodshed, and bare nipples to please those of more earthy tastes.
TV Worth WatchingApril 15, 2019Those sets, those costumes -- they all scream "TV budget." But you'd be surprised how immediate those studio cameras make these performances feel, as if they were being beamed live straight into your living room.
PopMattersApril 15, 2019If there were ever a need to argue that excellent dialogue and on-target acting can trump big-budget spectacle, this series could function as Exhibit A.
People MagazineApril 15, 2019[Masterpiece Theatre] shines again with the rich tale of a corrupt imperial family and a power lust that leads to murder, incest, debauchery and ultimately the fall of ancient Rome.
The Daily BeastApril 15, 2019I, Claudius remains one of the best dramas ever to air on television, a deft masterpiece of story, character, and, perhaps most importantly, vivid atmosphere.
