I'm just not as much a fan of The Romans as other First Doctor historicals. Unlike something such as Marco Polo or The Aztecs, The Romans feels a lot less serious and is made all the worse for it. I did not enjoy Nero's antics and while the costumes and sets were fairly impressive, after a while I just tune this serial out. It's not terrible but certainly one I'm not eager to revisit when re-watching, either. All that being said, the TARDIS crew is pretty fun here and you can definitely get a sense of the show really starting to firm up certain sensibilities about its production going forward.
