Welcome to “Sinful Sundays,” where I explore and analyze some of the most notorious queer villains of film and TV (and sometimes literature, depending on my mood). These are the characters that entrance and entertain and revolt us, sometimes all three at the same time. As these queer villains show, very often it’s sweetly good to be bitterly bad.
I must own up that I was very wary when I heard about Those About to Die, the modern gladiator-themed series streaming on Peacock. To begin with there was the fact that it was being released on one of the less-prestigious streamers. I signify, not to be cruel or dismissive, but Peacock is not particularly well-known for its prestige productions. Then there was the fact that Roland Emmerich was go
Roland Emmerich’s ‘Those About to Die’ Puts Anthony Hopkins in a Toga for Some Dumb, Pulpy Fun: TV Review
Time is a Circus Maximus. Assist in the early aughts, “Gladiator” conquered the box office before HBO established its bona fides as a home for sex, violence and big budgets with “Rome” a limited years later. In 2024, the “Gladiator” sequel is imminent, and television has once again returned to classical antiquity — in fact, to the very same text that inspired “Gladiator” a quarter century ago.
The Peacock drama “Those About to Die” is based on the Daniel P. Mannix novel of the same mention, initially published in 1958.

Created by Robert Rodat and directed by Roland Emmerich and Marco Kruezpaintner, Those About to Die is a historical drama centered around the diminishing 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! It’s violent! Well, sure, it’s all of these things, but sadly none are enough to hoist it above its vaguely ‘90s television miniseries feel. The series sags under the weight of its scale. Feeling at times appreciate nothing so much as “James Michener’s ROME,” Those About to Die features no fewer than 15 primary characters, many of whom fade into the backgroun
