Very cool TV series from HBO. It’s not as cheesy as those old Hollywood movies, it tries to be historically accurate (but there are some serious errors) - at least in it’s settings and design.

But I do love those characters and their very different attitudes. The personal stories and character development is interesting to watch. The acting is excellent. Life in Rome is full of sex and brutality - it was just ‘normal’ back then, people dying and fucking all over the place.

A nice change to all the doctors, lawyer and other soap operas. I actually would love to see a PROPER series about Athens and other Greek city states - not that Hercules & Xena crap. HBO are you listening?

Rome makes you wander if we have progressed at all? Hail Caesar!
