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

They make a big deal with the famous Kalkriese mask, which - as they have it - was probably for a cavalryman's helmet, but was also probably decorative. I don't think anyone would wear it while riding, the way they have it.
That was most of my take-away: nothing is egregiously wrong in terms of just being totally out of time period, but the balance of equipment was too much in favor of later, high-visibility prestige types.

On the flip side, I thought the Cherusci being in a mix of 'Hollywood Barbarian' with appropriate haircuts and so on was kind of obnoxious. A lot of clothing strikes me as too thin or with too little coverage. They're up in Saxony - it gets cold!

Anyway, that was my take from the first episode. I also found the story itself somewhat underwhelming, but I'll probably force my way through. The flash forward at the beginning with a battlefield with lots of RANDOM FIRE was not promising though...
