Rome season 1 & 2 - Rating: 5/5
Just finished viewing both seasons of Rome in late June 2008.Personally I think both seasons are excellent. This is very good entertainment and should be enjoyed accordingly. Is it historically correct, no. But who cares, this is HBO, not the History Channel.Season 1 introduces most of the characters and focus on the strugle of Roman life.As in most cases the rich are the most interting.There continues be a struggle between two families and their interests. One backs the Ceasar, the other the Senate.This theme runs throghout the entire series. What makes it interesting is there are 3-4 subplots going on at the same time. This shows the common man strugles, the soldiers,the shop keepers,and general life in and around Rome.
Some of the battle scenes are the best and interesting to watch Roman superiority.Well organized, with a will to fight to the death.The characters are always interesting and each eposide moves to hold the viewers interest.
I would caution you about the nudity and language, as it may be undesirable or offensive. Certainly this is adult entertainment with lots of violence and blood. However for me this is one of the better projects HBO has produced.
This series has been far better than anything produced by Hollywood to watch this summer. Believe me, I am a big movie fan. No one film in the last 6 months comes close to entertaining you like Rome. Finally you do need to watch both seasons, as they are quite different.
Excellent deal - Rating: 5/5
Perfect. What more needs to be said. Prompt shipping very well packaged. I highly recommend this seller.
AWESOME - Rating: 5/5
Rome the complete season is awesome! I couldn't just stop with one episode! I completed the whole seasons in one weekend!
When in Rome - Rating: 5/5
Having watched the original series when it first ran I ordered the first few episodes on my netflix. After watching them again I knew I had to own this. Rich in both history but fun in the fictional personalities that are woven throughout. Part docummentary part soap opera and a enjoyable viewing.
The best - Rating: 5/5
I think ROME is the best series HBO has ever come out with. Too bad it was for only 2 seasons.
