Zusammenfassung:The twelve episodes were a masterpiece of costume and design, the series also boasted a high degree of historical accuracy in its intelligent and sophisticated depiction of the lives and events of its historically genuine central characters ... In a wonderful cast which boasts top flight performances from some of the leading lights of the legitimate theatre, it is Derek Jacobi’s astoundingly remarkable central performance as Claudius which is the lynch-pin upon which the entire remarkable triumph of the series turns. When shown in the USA on PBS "I, Claudius" single handedly redefined the boundaries of acceptability on American television. Despite the content of orgies, nymphomania, adultery and incest, the series was shown on all PBS stations under the banner of Masterpiece Theater. An undisputed masterpiece "I, Claudius" remains as a shining example of just how ambitious, intelligent and exciting great television drama can aspire to be. [www.televisionheaven.co.uk]
