Rome

[Foxman]

Just curious if anyone is following this series on HBO?

I have it Tivo'ed but honestly I have still managed to miss some of it, but man the last episode I watched...the one before this past Sunday's, was one of the best drama's I have seen in a while.

I've seen bits of it, but as I came into it late I haven't wanted to watch it until I can see it from the beginning. FWIW, it looks really good.

I've been watching it since the beginning. Occasionally a bit too much of a soap opera. Other than that it's great .. :T

The acting is first rate, sets and costuming are wonderful.

The 13th soldiers were literally trained as an army (boot camp and everything). They were only allowed what hygienic products were available at the time. They were made to bath in the ocean.

So in addition to a good drama it's an interesting period piece. (Though English accents are a bit strange at times :wink: )

And yes the season finale' was 'real' theater....... 8O

I've been watching it since the beginning as well. I absolutely loved the series. Anyone know if there will be a second season, or is it over? The suicide at the end of the last one was really upsetting...

I have to agree on the english accents, made me think they were trying to make it seem like a graphic version of the Shakespearean drama.

Over? Nope, just the end of the first season. Remember the title is "Rome", not Caesar's final days .....:wink:
