Discerning readers felt betrayed and left. Rome is amazing, and I can’t wait to get started on Season Two. So we shall have another roman tv show soon. Oh and by the way “Winter Is Coming”, you fools! I don’t think Vorenus is dead. The downfall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. The sex has to go though. Solid start, solid end. It is an historical drama set in 44 BC Rome, and covers the struggle of a young Octavius, the nephew and heir of Julius Caesar, to become the first emperor of Rome. It’s quite sad I won’t be seeing anymore of them. This is the third time that I’ m watching Rome series and I am not the only one. This series is absolutely stunning, Great acting, sets, dialog, History. To be honest, Rome and Spartacus are the best and my favorites. I’m on a quest to turn as many as I can on to this jewel. A conscious choice was made to focus on violence , intrigue and sex ; a bit more attention should have been paid to Shakespeare . I think HBO is really blowing it. No they couldn’t. Empire is an American historical television series for ABC. I hope HBO will be merciful and bring it back with the cast members whose characters weren’t killed off. What made Rome stand out was its sheer scale, its attention to detail in costuming and architecture that were all visible in its grandeur. It added to the … But yea S1 is definitely better. The rising cost and the following criticism of said cost caused HBO to cancel the series. I know wine was a big thing back then, and there was a huge wine trade in the Roman Empire. Very entertaining. Even my husband like this show. THIS IS THE MOST USELESS ARTICLE EVER. I’d def watch them again in something else. Many of its wars were defensive as well as expansive ; one would have no idea from listening to cast and crew interviews that Roman legions fought off a Celtic invasion of Italy in alliance with the Etruscans before the First Punic war , or had stood off bloody incursions by Phyrrus of Epirus . “About your Father”….. Classic production. The irony is that even if Octavian is one of the greatest emperors that ruled the world, the real dynasties were founded by Anthony’s daughters and son. Game of Thrones has got nothing on this…, I need to know what happens to lucius vorenas… is he dead He also loses all of his money in a crooked dice game leading to a major brawl. it was practically a porno, dude i fuckin loved game of thrones and watched it before Rome but i want both! If they can resemble the cast & crew of DEADWOOD then they could do it for ROME. Truly, it must be the best TV show of all times. The BBC can’t go bankrupt, it’s funded by the license fee of the British taxpayer. I too am watching the show again on Amazon and must say it just guts me to know it will never come back. Too bad it didn’t go on longer. They could just jump forward in time along Augustus’ reign, the same amount of time it’s been since the show ended. Please do the TV-world a favor and continue the story of Rome!!! They realized the solution was more tits and ass. That is drama! Undoubtedly , ancient times were as violent as ours . Ha, I to am watching it again. Two seasons was definitely not enough. Badly done HBO. I have no interest in watching Game of Thrones. And unfortunately , it is thanks to his ancient “PR dept” that Antony is regarded as a crazy womanizer. The quality going downhill was due to the cancellation, it was not why it was cancelled. If I have to find a weak point, and it is not easy, to me some caracter looked too “english” but I do really hope that HBO will decide to go on and produce the remaining seasons. (is there a difference?) Even more if there is a movie. people enjoyed ceaser and casssius and the whole spartacus ride so much that we want more. Lots of changes had to be made. Actor Lucius Vorenus: Kevin McKidd: Titus Pullo: Ray Stevenson: Julius Caesar: Ciarán Hinds: Pompey Magnus: Kenneth Cranham: Atia of the Julii: Polly Walker: Mark Antony: James Purefoy: Marcus Junius Brutus: Tobias Menzies: Servilia of the Junii: Lindsay Duncan: Gaius Octavian: Max Pirkis: Niobe of the Voreni: Indira Varma: Posca: Nicholas Woodeson: Octavia of the Julii: Kerry Condon: Glabius Please, Please shoot more seasons! PLEASE BRING IT BACK. Bring it back, Its waiting. PLEASE CONTINUE THIS WONDERFUL STORY. I wish the would have continued this series. Servilia of the Junii. Watched them at least 5 times now.. Tap to unmute. Mark Antony. He is, however, cold and distant. Runs out of money. I got the series on DVD for my aunt :) and tried to show it to a lot of ppl (it aint everyone’s cup of tea though), Please please bring rome back …..season 3. He never looked more than 16 and that was okay when he was sleeping with his sister. I understand what a series like this means, it’s not easy to produce a big show like this but a lot of people now love Rome more than once and they are waiting for another great show from HBO. I try not to watch it too often because for me it is a special event to see the shows and I do not want to wear out due to familiarity. Ciaran Hinds is a revelation as Caesar. All rights reserved. He never looked more than 16 and that was okay when he was sleeping with his sister. I know I do! The excitement of the story need not have died with the beginning of the reign of Augustus. Titus and Vorenus were amazing characters. The characters are engaging and real, the sets are so realistic, you believe that this is what it truly looked like. HBO prematurely pulled the plug on a lot of great shows. Tap to unmute. All that was not interesting enough for first class show? Rome, is one of the best series I’ve ever seen, and I also use it as didactical material in a History class. Sadly Vorenus died at the end of the series & his brotherhood with Pullo was a big highlight of the show. The Borgias would be another example of a well done historical drama even though it wasn’t quite as good as Rome. Having read a lot of Rome historical novels i purchased HBO Rome Season one and two and watched all of them. Just finished rome. Agree with you there. The whole lot getting rid of the corrupt Roman senate and restoring it to some glory. Jericho,Borgias, or anything sci-fi are wonderful examples of how to alienate and enrage your fans (customers!). Just watched the series again on DVD and its still amazing. 2 years ago. Read a book would ya, sir you are mistaken. Sad, such a wonderful show. I read somewhere recently that HBO plans to do its new series with only a few seasons. I loved the show. I too would like to see it brought back.. An excellent series indeed. Speaking of which they were by far my favorite characters. I watch periodically the two Rome seasons on dvd and I find It superbe. How To Watch “Godzilla Vs. Kong” on HBO Max! Both Antonias by family ties became the grand and great mothers of Nero, Messalina, Caligulla. Is everyone here suffering from some mental handicap? I remain utterly disappointed that this extraordinary historical epic hasn’t been continued – please HBO, bring it back! They knew it was going to be their last season. HBO needs to rethink there leadership…. Great history lessons and fantastic sets.
