So ten years ago when I was a dilettante of cable and had HBO I watched Rome, in parts.  Today I binge watched Rome Season 1.
Compared to a lot of dramas this six-disk set was entertaining, informative and great drama.
Produced by the BBC  and shot in Rome, it was a great 720-minute experience.  It took a day and a half to get through this library rental.
I hope that I can find Season 2; I read the Wikipedia season two recap and that season looks even better for Cleopatra is in four episodes.
I’m not sure why it took another two years to produce this series with 10 episodes but season one is spectacular featuring two heroes of the 13th Legion who tag along with Octavius, Pompeii, Cesar and Marc Anthony.
The writing is very tight.

10/10
