Tyranny always has a bright beginning
This doesn't get really good until the final third or so, when the action really kicks in, but it's still a chilling insight into the banal beginnings of tyranny, and a careful snapshot of a moment in which the rot of madness and despair is starting to creep into both a nation's consciousness, and the mind of a troubled young man with far too much power. Even as we, the audience, know what is to become of the young Nero, it's hard not to feel empathy for him, and not to find ourselves hoping that maybe fate will be rejected and he will choose to listen to the angel on his shoulder instead of the devil. And just like everyone in his life, we can't help but feel a little betrayed by what he becomes in the end.
Although maybe just skim over the scenes between Britannicus and Junia because good GOD, they have to be the two of the most boring characters ever.
