This was dark and chilling. The language was absolutely beautiful and Levar Burton’s narration on his podcast is absolutely perfect.
The setting in a futuristic ancient Rome was bizarre, and I don’t think it was utilized to its fullest extent throughout the story, though the mentions of Caesar and the Colosseum certainly contributed to the general vibe.
