So which was the definitive period drama kino? And how is Game

Neither rome nor deadwood was axed. It simply became impossible for production to continue due to outside factors.

Deadwood due to a contractual fuckup allowing half the cast to leave before filming the fourth season, said cast being unwilling to come back for any amount of money.

Rome because the BBC was paying for more than half of the budget and they pulled out.

Will we ever get another Roman kino? Or will it forever be Spartacus clones

Rome, easily. For this scene alone.

Rome was Americanized trash. Watch a real show about Rome.

CAKES BY THE GUILD OF MILLERS. THE GUILD OF MILLERS USES ONLY THE FINEST GRAINS. TRUE ROMAN BREAD, FOR TRUE ROMANS

Is this the first time they allowed slaves and freed men to an event?

Rome.

But deadwood is inaccurate.

Milch dropped it to try out John From Cincinnati, which sadly was canned too quickly.

No, john from Cincinnati was the pity-project HBO gave milch when deadwood folded.

Rome because their very expensive set burned down.

I wish there was more of Rome, it was nicely set up for Augustus's conquests with the 2 grizzled veterans Pullo and Vorenus finale.

The show was stopped at the zenith, so at least I won't ever have to bitch about shitty seasons.

Wish that Firefly and Constantine weren't cancelled either.

Fuck, I wonder how much that played in the series ending.
I guess not much since it seems like season two was going to rush the story along since before they started shooting.
