Default ROME : Series one

Just searched didnt find any topic about the Rome series. Damn what a great series, amazed there aint a post about it in OOT. The sets, the realism, the story, the actors pure briliance. Best HBO series imho is the Wire but ROME is certainly up there. Anybody know when the next series is gonna come out and what the setting will be?

Edit : Just checked apparently season 2 is comming on dvd next month already, damn we are behind here in europe.

The second (and last) season begins with Octavius returning to assume power and ends with the demise of Antony and Cleopatra. I guess you're not in the US, because the season ended a couple of months ago.

It was a great show. Titus Pullo was the man, and the actor who played him (can't remember the name off-hand) did an amazing job the last few episodes.

Cost to much to make or something.

Rome Season 1 is one of the all-time great seasons of television, IMO. Also two of the best individual moments in all of television/cinema:
Thirteen!
The boy is blameless.

Season two was a big let down in how quickly they had to move the story in order to finish it. That plus the jolting change in the actor who played octavian. Which had to be done but was still [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. Overall definitely an entertaining show and i'll echo everything others have said about Pullo and add that the actor who played Lucius Vorenus did a sick job as well.

I think the actor that played Octavian in season 1 was outstanding, which was the main reason I didn't enjoy season 2 as much as the first.
