Absolutely wonderful depiction of Rome in the time of Caesar. Well acted to the point you really care about these people who loved so long ago. The only thing I found a little confusing was determining how much time was passing so that I had to look up how long a period of time Caesar was actually in power. That was good in a way as it’s been so long since I was in school it didn’t hurt to relearn it. Apparently Attia was no longer alive by the time Caesar came to power but the series without the character Attia would not have been quite as interesting I think. Fabulous costuming and set production. Getting ready for a trip to Rome and it’s kind of cool to have a quasi idea of how it looked back then before seeing it now.
I just discovered this series on retrolio Prime and I have totally been intrigued by the story line. Not at all what I expected. Mainly centered around two Roman soldiers and their personal lives as played by Steven McKidd & Ray Stevenson. Two actors that I had not been familiar with but with whom I am now a fan. Particularly Ray Stevenson. This man IS Titus Pullo and brings him to life in a way that I have rarely seen any actor perform. And in the midst of this story is the story of Julius Cesar (Ciaran Hinds), Mark Antony (James Purefoy), Octavian (Max Pirkus) and their personal lives all intertwined midst the backdrop of the City of Rome. The acting is superb from all involved I actually prefer the actor (Ciaran Hinds) who portrays Cesar to Rex Harrison in the Colossal farce that was Cleopatra starring Liz Taylor. Admittedly Rex didn’t have much of a role to play considering the film was mainly a vehicle to display Ms Taylor’s assets. I also think that this Antony (James Purefoy) would definitely more closely resemble the actual character from that bygone era. The writing by Bruno Heller portrays these people as real life people, flaws and all, and most defintiely flawed. I have watched all of Season 1 and am well into season 2. I thought that Spartacus shown on Starz was the best series that I had personally seen but I rate this series as even with that one. If you are intrigued by the culture of the Romans during those times I am guessing this is about as clos.
Absolutely one of the best historical series ever produced, this one covering the Late Roman Republic and Early Empire with high degree of historic accuracy and depth of character development of real (Caesar, Pompey, Cicero, Antony, Brutus, Octavian) and fictional (Verinus, Pullo, Niobe) persons rarely seen on the screen, big or little. Great sets, great costumes, great scripts and thus a great adventure. Aside from the sex (a lot of which is gratuitous and creative as there is no historical evidence Octavian’s mother Aetia was the strumpet played by voluptuous Polly Walker), you could actually see it for the history.
I really like this series. Like a lot of us, I love to learn more about Rome and it’s history. This is a story but all the big names you’ve heard, like Caesar, Cato, Brutus (of et tu Brute fame), Anthony, and others. You get to see them and what they do like you’re looking from a time machine. And the several threads of very personal stories are wound in it all. So there is that big story of Rome, then a slice of time in it, then some really famous people and what they did and finally the stories of some ordinary people. The cast is good, the dress and settings very good. I think a lot of people will like it.
Interesting. The main characters do not appear to be an actual part of history, but how folks not involved in government might have lived. Middle class folks. Historical accounts are very good. Rulers, wars, relationships, and people you learned about in history class are shown and their relationship to each other made very clear.From a historical perspective I found it very interesting. Made you feel like you know these people and how they lived and villains they confronted.Highly recommend this series.
Rome, an enjoyable BBC TV series which aired from 2005 to 2007, has interesting plot lines and characters, though it is far from historically accurate. Has a tongue-in-cheek approach at times, for example when Titus Pullo, a Roman soldier, is inserted into some of history’s well-known events in a "what really might have happened" way. A very adult, sometimes dark, drama, it’s good entertainment and features Kevin McKidd, who went on to play Dr. Owen Hunt in Grey’s Anatomy.
If you are a history buff or a fan of the Roman Empire. You will enjoy this interpretation. I personally, have never liked what Rome was or how it treated the world it existed in. They stole great ideas & inventions from all over the world. Even their gods, were simply renamed Greek gods! However, in this rendition of the end of a republic and the rise of an empire… HBO did a masterful job on relatable characters & engaging story lines. 4 stars & well played, as always, Home Box Office!
It was a fascinating period in history, the death of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. The main characters are dynamic and terribly interesting – Julius Caesar, Brutus, Cicero and the Roman Senate, the political machinations absorbing, the culture strange in its pious brutality.The writers did a terrific job integrating two levels of Roman society into one story. The main characters – the family of Gaius Julius Caesar and the family of Marcus Junius Brutus – are paired with two fictional characters, both soldiers in the Roman army. The lives of the ancient families of Rome and the plebeian army men are inextricably intertwined over the course of the story.The set decorations are incredibly well done reflecting the daily lives of the two classes of Romans. The overall setting in ancient Rome is also well realized.As always, fictionalized accounts of historic events are never "true" to the past. But then, what would be?Enjoy this tremendous realization of one of the the most interesting periods inn Roman history.
I love this series. It presents a steamy festering Rome instead of the stilted classic Rome of the old movies. I kept thinking how "mafia" it seemed. It is pretty historically accurate too which was a nice surprise. The acting was really good but I was surprised at the casting of Kevin McKidd. He’s a really good actor and did a terrific job, but Italian he’s definitely not. Granted there was a strong Celtic influx into Rome but still I think it was maybe not the best choice just on visual terms. I still give it 5 stars because it definitely exceeded expectations.
A very entertaining and addictive series in the fine HBO/BBC genre. Some fine performances by excellent British actors. Fine photography and sets. The writers take some liberties with historical facts regarding the individual characters and their actual lives and relationships, but when taken as it is offered (entertainment) it does provide insights into the morality, politics and society of Rome during this period. Binge-worthy.
