Rome (TV Series)
Aroview: Lavish, handsomely-mounted cable television series chronicling dark goings-on in ancient Rome.
The wide canvas of characters ranges from leader Julius Caesar and his adversaries to a pair of chalk and cheese soldiers. A lot more interested in politics and bedroom antics than battle scenes, though be prepared for occasional on-screen reminders that surgery did indeed begin before anesthetics. Also, allow an episode for this ambitious series to find its footing.

1 star (Turkey) What a waste of time. The novelty value of seeing Rome brought to life lasts only until people begin acting and speaking. I was furious with the person who told me so fervently to see it! Should have a skull and crossbones on the box. ~fudaizhi
3 stars (Good Enough) Season 1: I thought the set designs were outstanding particularly those depicting the daily lives of the peasants. The screenplay is uneven but its very good at times. The cast is quality with Lindsay Duncan & Ciaran Hinds excelling. ~Tubbs
