Rome Season 1
HBO's Rome is, like many other HBO shows, produced to almost feature film like quality. The show follows Gaius Julius Caesar during a period in which he returned from Gaul and set about overthrowing the Senate and becoming the supreme ruler of Rome.
The overall plot arc stems from history, and the events are shown to the viewer as witnessed by two Roman soldiers, Lucias Verenus and Tito Pullo. This makes for a plot which is both interesting and informative.
The sets are vast and detailed and looks amazing and the plot is interspersed with enough action to keep things moving. The acting is reasonable and the setting of ancient Rome believable.
Overall, well worth watching, for both entertainment and to learn a brief overview of Roman history.
Score: 4.5/5
