Those about to die gay scene
There’s probably something meaningful to utter about the current state of politics and the seeming revival of the swords and sandals genre; unfortunately, Peacock’s new series Those About to Die engenders very little desire to occupy with its material on any deeper level. Created by Robert Rodat and directed by Roland Emmerich and Marco Kruezpaintner, Those About to Die is a historical drama centered around the fading rule of Emperor Vespasian (Anthony Hopkins), his sons Titus (Tom Hughes) and Domitian (Jojo Macari, eating every piece of available scenery), and the bloody and politically treacherous world of chariot racing.
Set in 79 AD (reading up on that year will provide some spoilers if history is a spoiler), Those About to Die wants to have it all. It’s a drama! It’s an epic! It’s historical fiction! It’s sexy!

An epic drama set in the corrupt world of the spectacle-driven gladiatorial competition, exploring a side of ancient Rome never before told — the dirty business of entertaining the masses, giving the mob what they crave most…blood and sport. The series introduces an ensemble of characters from all corners of the Roman Empire who collide at the explosive intersection of sports, politics, and dynasties. There are 3 queer characters listed for this show; none are dead. If you like Those About to Die you may also love these shows.

The inspiration behind it is with everything that is happening in the world today. We touch that there's been so much. We're all in a dark place, and there's just so much happening politically and socially. So we wanted to create an opportunity of some sort of escapism for the community. When I talk about the community, I'm talking about everybody all inclusive, a space where people can come and really heed to great music and be able to be entertained and just run away from all the thick noise that is out there in the nature today; just for a little bit so that we can put a little smile on people's faces and create that love bubble, if you want to call it. That's why I was very, very excited when the Capri Theater approached me. They approached me and said, "Hey, we would like to unlock our doors for you to come in and for us to be able to join and collaborate and create this experience, to celebrate Identity festival, to be able to celebrate just being human, to be able to celebrate
