After several recommendations, I started watching this show. I'm almost done with season 2 after a few weeks. I just can't stop watching.. Overall, this show is just impeccable. historical accuracy and actors r absolute top notch. By far the greatest TV show I've ever seen. It's a shame HBO can't fund it anymore because noone watched it and it was the biggest budget for a TV show/series of all time A++ | ||

Biggest achievement is in the show's deviation from shining and sparkle-y HollyRome, which is awesome. Everyone looks smelly lol  | ||

). I found it a refreshing change from other serialized dramas like Heroes and Lost. It seemed to really benefit from being 'written' 2000 years in advance, rather that on the fly, which is how I find some such dramas seem. How does series 2 compare?What are the main deviations from history dragoon? How significant are they? | ||

Too many to name, but rest assured the changes are made for the sake of an entertaining story. For example, the character of Atia of the Julii is based historically on the wife of her son Octavian and later Augustus Caesar. Study a wiki for more deviations. | ||

Pay for HBO. Second: Watch the damn show when it comes on or on DVR (DVR results are recorded). That's what my wife and I did. We were doing our part. | ||

1. This is a thread about Rome 2. Firefly is awful Back on topic, what you guys think of season 2 compared to the first? I prefered the political parts.. I don't see where they are going with Lucius Vorenus and his kids? I mean honestly noone gives a fuck about those girls and that little boy? Or Titus Pullo and his love story with the slave? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ I want more of the senate, octavian, brutus, etc They should have introduced other great romans instead of shitty fictional ones + Show Spoiler + and the death of cicero sucked. he was by far the best character xD died with a bang tho, well executed--very moving D: Anyone else think Marcus Antonius is miscast? | ||

Those were a fantastic 22 hours with old friends Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus, with the charismatic genius Julius Caesar and his cold, calculating and even cleverer heir, Octavian. I enjoyed the savage underhanded war between the she-wolf women, relished the shady politics, delighted in the gang wars and pitched battles, celebrated the triumphs along with the characters, and was absolutely captivated by the war room strategy discussions. If you haven't watched this show before, and you are interested in the ancient period; in fact, if you enjoy any show of high calibre, with excellent writing, great acting and memorable characters, I cannot heartily enough recommend you watch Rome! | ||

I can't wait for the movie! What movie? Any details? I just finished rewatching this series and it has really unique style. I really like it. The actors are amazing imo.. | ||

Might be the reason i like fantasy series with a history setting so much nowadays, really enjoying GoT and even spartacus now. Not that Rome is a fantasy but still | ||

 age 58https://www.thewrap.com/ray-stevenson-dies-punisher-rrr-rome/ Ray Stevenson, a towering and imposing character actor best known for starring roles in “Punisher: War Zone” and the “Rome” television show, has died at the age of 58. While his passing has been confirmed by his publicists, the cause of death is currently undisclosed. RIP Titus Pullo. Gods he was great. | ||

I loved him as Titus Pullo in Rome and Blackbeard in Black Sails. His Punisher was pretty good too. | ||
