I'm a big fan of badass girl movies.. as in they are the main character, not just eye candy. Like, Resident Evil and Underworld movies are among my faves..
_just about the coolest blade shape. It just screams poke and run through someone! :P

_The strength of the roman army was in its numbers and tactical fighting style.
They would form large blocks of many soldiers that would fight as one large unit._
The leader of the barbarian forces knew how the romans fought, so he came up with a plan to take away their number/size advantage. By making the roman soldiers trek through a forest with a narrow path, they were turned into a long skinny snake of men.
_At the start of the attack, trees were felled inward about every 100 ft, throwing the front section of the 'snake' into panic as well trapping them for easy slaughter.
btw, there were only about 500 barbarians, but 1500 roman soldiers._
_True to roman military operations, the romans fell back into the nearby clearing so they could form their fighting blocks.
The cool thing is this was all part of the plan..
Fire trenches were pre-dug in the clearing and then lit under the romans._
_The fire was not to try and burn the romans, but to keep them separate in small groups. Then they would be forced to fight the surrounding Barbarian forces in hand to hand, which the barbarians excelled at.

I have a netflix sub, but don't often watch it. I would certainly end it, but my wife and daughter like to watch stuff on it. Anyway, There was a good new movie on there so I was watching. Then afterwards I decided to look around and see if there was anything new and cool for me to watch..
This one was a new one my recommended list and the thumbnail looked cool, so I clicked. I started playing the first episode and quickly got done with the first 3 episodes. It was exciting enough to hold my attention and I like how it focused on a few characters that u get to know and like. Plus, I dig roman/viking/medieval/primal movies and series, so this was right to my liking.
Barbarians was released in 2020 and was filmed in Hungary. The language is in German, but of course netflix dubs in english.. still, u might want to turn on subtitles.
The final episode was by far the coolest and most exciting. (as it should be.. ahem, Game of thrones..) I luv to see war strategies, but in action, not like just to study them.
I was very impressed with this show and would highly recommend it. Good job Netflix!
