HBO's Rome premiered last night, and I give it a cautious thumbs up so far.
I am a fan of the old "I Claudius" series, and this latest offering makes it look tame indeed (but none the less brilliant).
'Rome" sure looks right for the most part, except that Octavius (Augustus) looks too much like Doogie Houser at the moment, and I'm not sure he travelled to Gaul at a young age, it may have been Spain..but who has time to consult their Seutonious.
I'm not sure how far along in history this first 12 episodes take us, but if it goes to season 2 we might have Caligula and Nero to look forward to.
A fire is such a pretty thing.
