rome

i didn't NOT like this show, but i didn't like it either.

it's very well done. the costumes, props, & sets seem to be pretty spot on.

i don't know how accurate it is, historically. but i do know that i think it gets a little bogged down with the history, like the tudors does from time to time. i don't really care about any of the characters, because so far they are only representations of a certain time period in history. they don't particularly stand out for me, & they don't really seem like real people. in the first episode alone, i couldn't tell half of the guys apart.

i feel like this show could be good, if it begins to focus more on the characters than the history/plot. this may happen, i don't know.

i've heard really good things about it, so i won't hate on it completely.

i like the tudors, but maybe only because jonathan rhys meyers is so hot. rome doesn't have a jonathan rhys meyers. at least, not yet.
