Knowing a bit of the history is almost a problem, actually -- I know "how it ends" for the most important characters, and yet I also wonder how far they are deviating from history just to be interesting. They might actually be going a little too far in making Rome as vulgar as it is.
The writing/acting are definitely not as tight or polished as in, for instance, [i]Deadwood[/i], and my jury is still out. I'm willing to give it another disc (two episodes) and then we'll see if it's worth finishing out the season.
