I like Rome but it's overrated as fuck, it doesn't even reach close to the greatness of the HBO classics - Deadwood being the greatest of all
As a Brit I can't help but blame the BBCs involvement

Re watching currently and I agree with everything you say. Unfortunately its demise was its massive budget. Im glad that it happened.

The only reason Rome is overrated is because it was cancelled. If it got a full run it would've been kino incarnate.

You have seen paintings and busts of them, right? Very white in Rome. Farther south, they looked a little more Macedonian.
Great show.

Rome is one of the best tv series of all time. The second season sucks.

Come to think of it, why haven’t the Italians made any Roman kino? You’d think they would as the literal descendants of the Roman people.

they should have called it Two Legionaries. in the end it's all about them although i was more interested in watching the Caesar vs Brutus storyline.

They've made a bunch actually, don't know if any of it is good howeveren.wikipedia.org /wiki /Sword-and-sandal#Ancient_Rome

Its just weird and I drop a lot of movies because of that. It seems that vikings, romans, greeks, jews and egyptians all spoke with a heavy brittish accent. But russians, arabs, germans, africans and indians in westerns alll have this weird english oogabooga immigrant accent.

Kevin McKidd literally looks like a Roman statue come to life

So you're saying Ciaran Hinds and James Purefoy don't look Med? Have you ever seen a Mediterranean?
