My last rewatch was in early-mid 2010s. I've just finished s1.ep3.

For whatever reason, I'm paying more attention to how supposed "normal" life is depicted. How Lucius treats his wife & children when he first gets home. How the nobles treated their slaves/servants (e.g. having "coitus" with servants around them). How Titus has fun in bars & women. How Atia uses her daughter for political gain etc.

I don't know how real this all really is, but it strikes me as more real/true than not.

It would suck to be anyone other than a male noble back then.
