Domina

[ancslove]

Name: Domina
Media: 1 season TV series on EPIX and Sky, made up of 8 hour-long episodes. Starring, among others, Matthew McNulty, Liam Cunningham, and Claire Forlani
Summary: The life and rise of Livia Drusilla, wife of Emperor Augustus, after the death of Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic.
Content Warnings: A lot of death! Including murder (by various methods) and suicide. Offscreen rape and forced prostitution is a big plot line in episode 2. Miscarriage. Infidelity. One big instance of animal cruelty in episode 3.
Why I Love It: So many great relationships, dripping with loyalty kink and codepency! I love Livia's relationship with her best friend (and former slave) Antigone. Their devotion to each other is the best. And I love Gaius Augustus' relationship with his best friend Agrippa, as they seize power together. Then there's Livia's son Tiberius, who would be a major woobie if he weren't so creepy. There are so many complex relationships, political maneuvering, and even poisoning! And sacrificing to Proserpina Queen of the Dead to make horrible things happen to your enemies! All while everyone is draped in gorgeous period clothing, lounging on couches while drinking wine and eating dormice, and surrounded by columns and statuary.
