Why is it we never talk about one of the best shows of all time?

Is Caligula one of the best characters of all time? sure the show took a dive in quality after he became emperor, but he was still extremely unpredictable and John Hurt did an amazing job playing him.

75% of this board are shitty teenagers with smart phones who could never muster up the attention span to watch this Roman kino.

Any person who watched Rome should watch this, it follows up almost immediately after it finishes

The show didn't drop in quality? it just changed from a political oriented show to one more focused on the survival of Claudius in an empire lead by a lunatic

I've read the books but never seen the show. What am i in for? All i know is Picard plays Sejanus

It's people talking but it's really amazingly done. The acting is top notch as well.

You have to respect the fact that idiots here are afflicted with duckling syndrome.

Caligula failed as a military Emperor, that is why he was politically assassinated after his death.

His job was to conquer Britain, he planned to cross to Britain like the Persians crossed the Hellespont, but this failed dismally.

After his death, the army grabbed a stooge in Claudius and then conquered Britain.
