[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 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.

Speaking as a food-taster myself, I, Claudius goes down very easily.
April 15, 2019
I, Claudius remains one of the best dramas ever to air on television, a deft masterpiece of story, character, and, perhaps most importantly, vivid atmosphere.

No 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.

A series that deserves to be seen at least once in life. [Full Review in Spanish]
April 16, 2019
The 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.

Those 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.

Though 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.
April 15, 2019
If 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.
April 15, 2019
Brilliant 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.
April 16, 2019
A 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.
