Customer Ratings & Reviews

Graphics, movie and characters to watch. Highly recommend this movie.

Great show. Bloody action like the movie 300 and 300 Rise of an Emire

always wanted to watch Rome, got season 1 and 2 love it

Well written. Beautiful cinematography. A must own.

I love movies that take you back in time. Full of action.

This show was amazing. Blu ray quality was perfect.

Love seeing shows regarding the Roman era and this one tops right up there among the best. Seems his historically accurate.

If you liked Game of Thrones this was basically HBO's first shot at the format.

Best Buy had an excellent price! I am very happy with my purchase.

... and I thought season 1 was spectacular! Season 2 picks up minutes after the death of Caesar, where season 1 ended and continues on a break neck pace till its concluding episode. So much material is covered in a short while yet the whole season is easy to follow and simply wonderful to watch. Bruno Heller and Johnathan Stamp continue to amaze me in their level of detail and creativity with the story line. Kevin McKidd's Vorenus has a much darker story this season while Ray Stevenson's Pullo has most things going right for him. Almost all of the other lead characters from the first season are back for this final season of Rome. Must see DVD extras include the filming of the battle of Phillipi which only lasts a few minutes on screen but must have been a royal pain to create. (Since I have never read a review that considers the role of the extras / day-players, let me be the first one to send out kudos to them for what they accomplished in the battle scenes and throughout both the seasons of Rome.) The wonderfully educational All Roads Lead to Rome featurette is also back and just as informative. All of this makes these DVDs a must-have and I'm sure I'll watch them over and over again.

I loved Rome Season 1, so I went head first into Season 2. Although it does have a particularly different feel to it than Season 1, it is every bit as good. The characters in Season 2 all go through a lot of development. Many of them become very different, but I felt like this was a natural progression, and not forced. It's hard to carry on about how good the show was without spoiling either season. I strongly recommend watching the show. This season only had 12 episodes and was canceled due to being too expensive to produce, however, the show wraps cleanly, and I never felt it was rushing to an ending.

Although it's sad to see a great TV show like this end, it went out with a bang. Covering a lot more material than the first season did felt a little bit rushed, but each action-packed episode more than makes up for it. As a huge fan and student of classical history, it's very accurate, yet also made incredibly entertaining. Truly a DVD for all tastes!

by far one of the best shows on television in years but it's a shame to see it go after only two seasons. The last episode is very dramatic and sad, one of the best of the series. Pick this up along with the 1st season as quickly as you can, you will not regret it!!!

From the very beginning of the first episode of season one to the very last scene in season two, you cant help but feel involved with the dramatic story lines and characters....I was very sad to see this one end only after two seasons

what a wonderful follow up season. shame HBO cancelled the series after season 2. The blu-ray is superb, not much wrong with this one, pick it up, or better yet, pick up the complete series.

SO DURING MY DOWN TIMES WITH GAME OF THRONES I SEEN THIS ON SALE..OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS ON HBO. IF YOU ENJOY GAME OF THRONES GIVE THIS A WATCH YOUR BE HAPPY YOU DID

Finally a tv show that captures your attention from beginning to end. Too bad they produced only 2 seasons.

This is one of the best shows i have seen in my life. Everything is spot on, top to bottom

great show that gives you an idea what went on in anicent Rome.

Great to have them all of episodes from HBO at hand
