I saw that TV series! It’s unbelievably good!
You can get it off Amazon.

I have never understood why a movie have never been done on Justinian & Theodora! It would be a great story on the screen. High ranking Roman falls in love with a prostitute\actress later become Emperor & Empress. The Byzantines if anything were colorful, had the Roman sense of pageantry.

In fact you could do multiple movies! One with them as heroes & one with them as villains! Their actual lives were that multisided! (What would you expect they were late Antiquity/dark Age Emperor & Empress and successful rules! They have to be both!)

Agree. Justinian is also a rags-to-riches story with plenty of intrigue to go around. I think our Hollyweird friends can't tolerate the fact that he was also a very devout Orthodox Catholic. That makes him not particularly useful as a hero for them.

Constantine's life would also make outstanding fodder for a TV series -- if told correctly.
