Ok gents. Netflix now has a series on Varus' campaign into Germany.........
Let's get going.

The Latin seemed pretty decent? I'm sure a philologist with a living Latin bent could find fault (use of dominus as 'sir' struck me as odd, but its used occasionally as a formal greeting in the sources; I'd have to search to check the usage by soldiers to officers though).
The equipment isn't wrong, per se, but seems to oversample high-visibility prestige armors. Helmets look to be almost all 'Gallic' - fancy, high visibility - but in 9 there should still be plenty of coolus, montefortino helmets mixed in there.

And
@Idiotprofessor4 would probably also say, there's too much segmentata, not enough mail here. Obviously we have segmentata fragments from Kalkriese, so it's not crazy to have some, but it is probably too uniform. And there's basically no mail? -
The scale I saw struck me as odd. Roman scale armor usually has pretty chunky scales, often pretty thick (in the same range as segmentata pieces, I recall?). The scale in the show seemed thinner and to fall quite flat. Could still be correct, just looked wrong to me.

I am so glad that I am not the only one who looked at the scale and said "that's not right, Roman scale is thick and chunky!"

At the village pillage scene (see what I did?) there's at least one mounted trooper in an iron muscled cuirass and what looked like a Chalkidian helmet that would fit in better in the 4th-3rd centuries BC.
