Rome HBO Series

Anyone watch it? Since I don't have HBO i download it. Can't wait till tonights. When I have the money I might buy the first season box. Btw Veronus rocks he's f-ing crazy @_@

I love the show! I paid the whopping $83.99 for season one on DVD. It's worth it. The show is outstanding. And Vorenus and Pullo are total badasses!

It sucks that this season will be the last.

When is it on? I like some HBO shows, never saw that one

How long has this been on? How many seasons are available on DVD? Is it worth buying?

Rated PG-13 or R?

This is the second season—duh!

I think the DVD set is worth buying, but I love historical epics/dramas. Those are my favorite kind of movies. So this was well worth it. It'll run you close to $100, though. The DVD set comes in a wooden case, which I assume adds to the pricey tag.

It's mostly historically accurate, so you have a ton of killing and good dose of sexual situations—women-on-man, man-on-man, and girl-on-girl. There are even some uncomfortable moments where children are involved in death, the slave and sex trade, and some other things.

That may sound bad, of course, but it's not overly gory or gratuitous. Go to this site for a ton of videos: http://www.hbo.com/rome/video

I would agree. Very well done. A lot of sex.... a lot. lol.... only one bloody scene (bull sacrifice).... My bro in law had it and I borrowed it. Brilliant... Loved "Band of Brothers" (own it) and "From Earth to The Moon" about the Apollo program.( a little slow in spots but I still loved it.)

definatley a NC-17 type rating...

I've been wanting to check this serious out for a while. Every time I see it in teh store I get a strong urge to buy the first season without even seeing an episode. I love Roman time and history of Rome, and really history period. So it is historically accurate then? I need to probably rent the first episode or what not first.

you can find season 1, used on amazon for about $50.

who saw sunday's episode? Atia got rock bottomed.

Yes, if you're a fan of Roman stuff then this is a must buy. It is probably 95% accurate, I'd say, at least.

And yeah, Kissin, Atia got screwed! Haha. But we knew Antony married Octavia in real life, so it wasn't a surprise. Funny, though!

My brother in law is totally into Roman history and He loves it.

Sounds like I need to dig into my wallet and buy the first season. Seeing the clips online and what I've read about it it looks fantastic.
