Those About to Die

The series, 'Those About to Die,' being an Action Drama set in the brutal world of Roman gladiatorial combat, primarily evokes a strong sense of Excitement and Anticipation from the high-stakes 'blood and sport' spectacles. This is coupled with significant Anxiety and Fear for the characters' survival in such a dangerous environment. The 'dirty business' aspect and the inherent violence lead to considerable Sadness, Empathy for the victims and participants, and feelings of Disgust and Anger towards the corruption and brutality. A pervasive sense of Melancholy underscores the grim reality of the setting, while moments of Satisfaction are likely fleeting, tied to small victories or acts of defiance. The overall experience is designed to be Disturbing due to its unflinching portrayal of violence and moral decay.
