Anyone Watch ROME on HBO?? - Page 2

Looks like HBO may have yet another hit series on their hands. Overall I liked the first episode. A ton of violence, plenty of T and A, and a good historical plot.

Slow with little character development. Deadwood was far superior ofter just 1 episode. I will give it another chance.

Entourage was even a little diappointing. I do realize they are setting up the finale though.

I read somewhere that next week's episode is the best of the initial three, fwiw. I wasn't particularly enamored with last night's. The two naked chicks were a big plus (sheesh, complaining about trimmed bush?

), and I liked the interplay between the two soldiers, but I thought that on the whole it was meandering and too slow to develop. The first twenty minutes or so were almost painfully dull. I also thought the music was awful.

Can always just watch the Orgy scene in Caligula over and over...

Don't let AliChiefs hear you say that.

I'm not a big fan of English actors cast as Romans. They dont look the part and the Queen's English sounds pretentious. The story is decent but the fight choreography is choppy and shot too tight.
