Synopsis
Plebs (2013), Season 1 is a British comedy you can watch online on iFILM — six episodes that drop ancient Rome into the everyday grind of broke twentysomethings.
Marcus and Stylax share a cramped flat with Grumio, a slave whose laziness keeps backfiring on all of them. Across the season the trio chase party invites, a job that won't fire them, and any woman who'll give them the time of day. A gladiator moves in and won't leave, a birthday gift turns awkward, a clinic visit goes sideways, and a Thracian lodger upends the household. It all builds to the festival of Saturnalia, where Marcus makes one last try for Cynthia.
Made for ITV2, the show is basically an office sitcom in togas — the empire is set dressing, the jokes are about rent, bosses and bad decisions. Worth a look if dry British humour is your thing. Stream Plebs Season 1 online on iFILM.
