Opinions on Rome?

Currently looking for a new series/show to start watching, have heard Rome is good, plus its made by HBO whose series tend to be superb, just wanted some opinions or reviews on this what it's like. Ratings out of 10?

Cheers :wink:

I don't like to rate things but I will say this.
If you like your tv with plenty of blood, nudeness and action...rome has it.

Loved the series and I hope it gets another.

Sounds right up my street blunty. I trust your revered opinion, you seem to have similar tv show tastes as me.

I read on Amazon that a second series is being made.

I hope you're right about the 2nd season.

As a show it's nothing on the likes of the sopranos or the wire...but I don't think it ever could be.

It's just really fun, really big budget stuff that you either love or hate I guess.

:grin:

Another nod from me - but if you do take the plunge I recommend you watch the entire series before making final judgment - towards the end is where I really got into it (moreso than just another well-made drama) :)

Re: Opinions on Rome?

Excellent series, finished watching this a couple of days ago. Watching it just to see the sets, costumes and amount of effort that has gone into it is amazing.

The best of British.

The dude who plays caesar (also in Munich) was really great I have to say.

But the duo of verinus (sp?) and pullo made the show for me

It's an excellent city that is probably the prime sight seeing city in Europe.

Oh, I should have read the text right?
