Just started this and finished the second episode. Seems pretty great so far. What is the consensus on HBO's Rome here?
I was looking for something with an antiwuity or medieval setting that is actually enjoyable now that GoT is shit. I've heard the second season is rushed and not as good though. Any truth to that?
best show ever cancelled because it didn't appeal to plebeians like GoT does

>I've heard the second season is rushed and not as good though. Any truth to that?
Yeah, but still miles better than GoT
Just watch it. It's one of the best historical series ever created.
Also:

Fuck I completely forgot about the movie, but at this point they'd do better to just bring the show back.

HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!
Man, Hinds was great as Caesar and totally wasted in GoT.
Purefoy's Antony made me wish Mark Antony won against Augustus in real life.

Except Keving McKidd looks far better now and in Rome that he did in trainspotting.
Women age like milk, men age like wine.
>>85789735
They not only wasted Hinds, they also wasted Al Swearengen.
>>85790652
I guess I should have said aging does that to women
McKidd and Purefoy in GoT when?

>McKidd and I had lunch the other day, and I said to him, "Have you been asked to do Game Of Thrones?" And he said, "I'd never do it. Because they stole our fucking show." He worked out that if Rome had run for the entire seven seasons that it should have run, we would only have finished it last year. And he feels that HBO did Game of Thrones instead of us, so they stole our show. I kind of agree with him. I won't be doing Game Of Thrones, even if they ask me.
13! 13! 13!

This is as based as they can get. Other than that awful fucking tripe The Following and Grey's Anatomy, McKidd and Purefoy are class acts. Bless them for not doing what amounts to television-capeshit by now.
GoT has fucking turned into the Transformers of TV (barring the cartoon)

Fuck you plebeian, Grey's Anatomy is awesomeuntil that retarded plane crash
>>85790882
Its a shame the show got cancelled, it was basically a better form of GoT that benefitted from great actors and fantastic costuming. I think HBO probably put a lot of their experience from Rome into making GoT run smoother production wise

Purefoy is amazing in Hap and Leonard which tv would not like, but there it is
>watch two episodes
>go on a spergout on /tv/ because you don't actually like it but want some good talking points if anybody ask you about it since it's known to be a great series
>>85787741
Great show, alot better than that shit GoT. I also recommend I, Cladius, you can watch it as a sort of sequel to Rome if you'd like.
Aria
Octavia
Servilia
Cleopatra

And definitely Octavia.

These.

Octavia > Atia > rest
At the end of the day it can be forgiven because Hinds is an amazing actor but has anyone noticed he bears absolutely no resemblence to the historical Caesar?
>>85792161
He has the swagger to pull it off desu
Vorenus looks like more a typical roman statue when the light hits his face at just the right angle
>>85792161
There's a lot of different contemporary depictions of Caesar. We don't know what he actually looked like.

>first episode she has sex with a jew
can't wait for Brits to appropriate my culture by putting niggers in Troy
>>85792775
this, in fact if I recall correctly a lot of post-Gallic War Caesar busts have a suspicious similarity to Gaius Marius. He was clearly trying to say he was the big dog now
>>85792775
We know he was black, white boi

All mockery of the Jews and their one God should be kept to an appropriate minimum.

It's a bad adaptation of the historical fiction equivalent of Twilight.
Also the armors and weapons look like fucking shit, especially the protagonists' biker gear and sword.
