I can't believe how fantastic this show is. We don't get HBO, but we've rented the DVDs. I highly recommend it! Anyone else a fan?
Ditto, for some reason, I didn't really like it.Originally Posted by theimp98
i wachted the first season DVD, and just could not get into it.
With my love of history, i thought i would love it.
It's my understanding that the writers were only going to do two seasons, then a movie. They didn't want to drag it out (especially since it's based on historical facts - they'd have to make up stuff).Originally Posted by lookingglass
Just a warning for Rome watchers. There are only two seasons. The show was canceled recently.
Me too! And the weird superstitions and bizarre rules of society!Originally Posted by Breal76

Evidently, there was a fire in the set for Rome on August 10, so there will be no more episodes... Contrary to what I said eariler, I just read that the third season was written and ready to go, but also, like lookinglass said, that it was cancelled.I guess it's a moot point since the set cost a fortune.
