HBO has a new series: "Rome". These are the same people
that brought us "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City". Lots
of sex, violence and intrigue. So a lot of you people who post
here should give it a wide berth. You may wet your diapers!

"Acta non verba"

Enjoy.

This series can be found in abundance on mininova.

Yeah, I've enjoyed the first two episodes. Roman history has always fascinated me, so I was curious about this. It was a little underwhelming when I realised they were re-hashing the Julius Caesar story though. That's been done to death for the last 500 or so years, but they've put a decent spin on it here. I especially like the sub plots surrounding the two foot soldiers from the 13th legion. The whole thing looks very realistic. Recommended.

Is it possible to get HBO over here? I hate sitting in my office two feet away from a screen while watching movies/shows.

ROME has a real DEADWOOD feel.

If you know the preproduction story you will know why.

ROME also features nudity and tons of swearing ...

I have only seen #1 ... but it is so far "DEADWOOD" good.

Great show. Totally violent and pornographic. Do not show it to your classes.
