Critics, per Wikipedia
Critical response to the series was mixed, with several reviewers praising its ambition and Hiddleston's evident passion for the subject while finding his on-camera presentation overwrought. Writing in The Guardian, Lucy Mangan described the show as embarrassing and exhausting but undeniably entertaining, criticising what she characterised as melodramatic narration and staging while acknowledging she was drawn in regardless. In The Independent, Adam White similarly described Hiddleston as an uncomfortable, theatrical host, arguing the show functions as much as a reflection on Hiddleston's own fame as a work of history, though he credited Hiddleston's evident sincerity.

It's thought now to be the free distribution of bread ahead of an election by a politician in a white toga. Photo: MANN Inv. No. 9071 🏺 #archaeology #romanarchaeology

neutral · AI labelView post →The (former) Disney/NatGeo staffs really have been going hard on pro-social, hope-punk work in the recent past. The Hiddleston Pompeii documentary series is going HARD on the concept of “We Save Us” and I am HERE FOR IT. (It’s on Disney/Hulu, it’s a bit silly, but also earnest and determined.)

The producers did a crackin’ job of linking the natural and human history of this extraordinary event and its legacy: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... 🇮🇹
neutral · AI labelView post →yesterday Maddie asked me if the Pink Floyd Pompeii show is on VHS. She's been learning about Pompeii, I was listening to Floyd. I think this is good but then again "my almost 10-year-old is asking me about 50-year-old prog concert videos she can watch on her VCR" is maybe too far in one direction.
neutral · AI labelView post →Trying to narrow down the classical setting of the new series of Taskmaster. Mosaics are usually Roman era, so that gives us… Pompeii? But there’s a Greek key pattern under Greg’s face, so maybe… Paphos? There are some amazing mosaics there with tiny tesserae. That pot on the right -

neutral · AI labelView post →As with the other isometric adventure game/RPG that uses the same engine from Steve Grand, Rome AD 92 gives you a series of sandboxes to, well, do whatever you want. You're on the clock in Pompeii, but once you get to sprawling Rome, you have the freedom to explore and play around.

neutral · AI labelView post →Here’s my review of the Tom Hiddleston Pompeii series. Keeping in mind this is aimed at amateurs, I thought it had a wonderful blend of (fairly authentic) dramatisation, a varied range of specialists and Tom himself makes the story that much more endearing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ www.benpaites.uk/blog-4-1/pom...

neutral · AI labelView post →Tom Hiddleston did a short series called Pompeii: Out of Time for NatGeo where he uses storytelling, his background as an (amateur) classicist, his considerable acting skills, input from experts, and gentle humor to create empathy for the victims of Vesuvius, and I'm here to tell you I loved it.

neutral · AI labelView post →📺 I was in a @pbs.org Nova show a few years back called, somewhat over-dramatically, "The Next Pompeii". Interestingly for a Naples-based #volcano show, it focused on the less well-known, less glamorous neighbour of #Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOz6...

One of them that stuck in my head was totally meme: "Everyone writes on the walls except me". I can't of course find verification of that in an image, but there's plenty of others, the walls for them was their social media.
