Quite good, although there’s no shortage of violence. The acting is terrific—especially Ray Stevenson and James Purefoy—and Rome is very well-written. The first season is stronger, but the best of the second season more than holds its own. Here’s Mark Antony (Purefoy) playing hardball politics with a Roman senator (Simon Callow, in a cameo): https://youtu.be/BXt0u2WkmlU
HBO’s Rome comes to mind: “whores, hermaphrodites, and lickspittles”
I’ve had that on my list to watch sometime but have forgotten to. How good is it?

Thanx … watched the clip … think I’ll binge this one in between waiting for the weekly Yellowstone episodes. Cheers 🥂
