Synopsis
Want to watch Plebs Season 2 online? This 2014 British sitcom runs eight episodes on iFILM, and it opens with a windfall: Stylax bets on a chariot race and he and Marcus walk away a hundred denarii richer, with very different plans for the cash.
The money doesn't last. Marcus gets roped into being best man at a wedding he'd rather sabotage. Grumio finds an abandoned baby behind the bins and brings it home. A new slave named Mushki turns up at auction and quietly threatens Grumio's place in the household, and a local election drags the boys into political mudslinging. By the finale, the girls face deportation unless Marcus and Stylax can scrape together three thousand denarii in a hurry.
Longer than series one and a little tighter, this run keeps the rent-and-relationships humour but lets the characters breathe. A solid follow-up for anyone who liked the first batch. Stream all episodes of Plebs Season 2 online on iFILM.
8 episodes
S2·E1The Chariot
Having won 100 denari each through Stylax's betting on a chariot race, he and Marcus have very different ideas on how to spend the money. Marcus, naturally, wants to spend it on Cynthia, whilst Stylax prefers a more laddish approach.
S2·E2The Best Men
Surprisingly, Aurelius is getting married. Even more surprisingly, he invites his "best mate" Marcus to be his best man. Reluctant to say the least, Marcus plans a night on the cheap, avoiding the hottest club in town.
S2·E3The Baby
While doing the recycling, Grumio finds a baby behind the bins and takes it home to raise as his own. Stylax uses it to strike up a relationship with an attractive young wet nurse. Meanwhile, Marcus tries to avoid seeing Cynthia's painfully boring one-woman play.
S2·E4The Patron
Grumio falls ill after eating an apple on the loo. Marcus refuses to pay for his medical treatment preferring instead to go with Cynthia's remedy of candlelight and prayer. Stylax strikes up a rapport with a rich nobleman Gaius who agrees to fund his charioteering career
S2·E5The New Slave
The boys buy an eccentric slave called Mushki at an auction. Grumio finds his position in the household gradually usurped as the new guy impresses Marcus. Stylax, however, has a sneaking suspicion that Mushki might be a psychopath.
S2·E6The Candidate
The local elections arrive, so Marcus and Stylax sign up as hired clappers for wig-wearing politician Victor of the Gracchii. Grumio, however, is drawn towards another candidate named Julius Priscus. Could it simply be because he is giving away free promotional plums?
S2·E7The Phallus
The boys bump into old school friend Fabianus, who is now a hot shot lawyer. Through him, Stylax reconnects with old flame Cordelia.
S2·E8The Race
Marcus and Stylax try to raise 3,000 denarii to avoid the girls being deported. Grumio visits Landlord in prison through a sewage pipe.
