Rome?

[ithildin]

I don't get HBO, so I've never seen it (no, I've never seen Deadwood either), but I came across the DVDs of S1 on Amazon. Is it worth buying? How many seasons are there? Do I actually need another TV show to watch?

These and other burning questions await answers.

As far as I'm aware, there's only the one season so far, but I think there's a second one about to start showing.

I personally thought that it had a few entertaining moments, but for the most part, it was soooooo boring. I got it on Netflix (which I HIGHLY recommend to try out shows and movies before buying) and literally ended up forcing myself to watch. Even then, I bailed before the final two episodes and just sent that disc back unwatched.

I really could not muster up the smallest ounce of caring over most of the characters. (Titus Pullo being the one shining exception, if only because he was so crass and coarse and completely unlike any of the other stuffed-shirt characters.) Just really left me cold overall.

But that's my opinion. YMMV.
