Rome

Liked Gladiator? You’ll love Rome. I have watched both seasons ~4 times. Among the best prestige series ever made. Cast is awesome, the story moves briskly, and it’s fun while being reasonably true to history. One of my top five shows ever. SPQR.

Loved this, such a realistic version of Rome, basically game of thrones with Romans shame it didn’t get more seasons. I wouldn’t expect much massive battles but the politics and characters are some of the best I’ve seen

First season is incredible for history nerds. Second season paced weird because they planned to end it there. Ended up doing really well so very tragic

Pretty good

As someone who is completely infatuated with history this was the perfect show for me. I had been searching for a show that carried this amount of suspense, acting and intrigues since I finished Game of Thrones, and this show delivered. Fantstic show I wish they'd made it longer.
