Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator | PBS

Nearly 5 centuries of ancient Roman democracy was overthrown in just 16 years by one man.

This is a bit slow moving but not too bad. It invokes populism, celebrity, outside the box political stints and power. The intro speaks of how fragile democracy is and how real the threats are. I can't help[ wonder if the producers intend warning about Trump.

This ought to be good also. Dante: Inferno to Paradise | PBS

I love PBS. I will watch this first thing tomorrow before heading to work, and viewing the eclipse.

I think part 2 airs Tuesday. Maybe you can watch part 1 on line.

Yeah, part 1 is online.

Pulled this off the PBS website, so everyone knows when to watch the Caesar documentary before it expires. The show will probably be released on disc in a few months for people who like collecting DVDs/Blu-rays, but don't take my word on that.
