The poisoning and frightening to death of Germanicus was better dealt with went in an episode of "I Claudius" that had practically everybody involved, including young Caligula and the aging dowager empress Livia. Pretty much all the same characters not in other episodes are here including Piso, the Syrian governor, and Plancina the poisoner. The show is well acted but the writing isn't often clear as to which direction it is going in and the direction is faulty at times as well. But André Morell continues to be commanding as the now officially ruling emperor, and other members of the Royal Family gets some time as well. Freddie Jones is finally getting his footing as Claudius, and he'll never be confused for the bumbling but genius emperor to be that Derek Jacobi was.
