Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent show regarding the Roman era and seems to be very historically accurate.

Love this series because it let you have a taste of what happened in ancient Rome!

Good show not for kids tho. Would be good for someone who likes a lot of action

This was a very good series. I will purchase the next series.

A good series; check it out if you enjoyed Game of Thrones

I could use just one word to describe the first season of Rome -- brilliant! HBO spent their money wisely in producing this series. Bruno Heller is a wonderful writer and he has created compelling characters in Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo. Kevin McKidd and Ray Stevenson (respectively) bring both characters to life and by the end of the first few episodes you feel as if you've known them forever. Other actors are also at the top of their game whether you're talking about Ciaran Hinds as Caesar, James Purefoy as Marc Anthony, Polly Walker as Atia or any of the others. Even bit players like the herald who reads out declarations in the Forum leave their mark with you as the season progresses. The sets and costumes for the show are amazingly well done and the attention to detail is probably the best I've ever seen in a TV show. Make sure to watch the specials on the DVD to fully comprehend the scale of the whole production. One outstanding feature of the DVDs is the segment titled All Roads Lead to Rome which gives you greater detail on various items, gods and goddesses and the culture of ancient Rome. This feature along with the commentaries by historical consultant Johnathan Stamp make this first season of Rome a must have for any collection.

ROME is excellent! It's sexy and full of all of the political intrigue and dirty family secrets that make that time period so interesting. Loved it!! Have not watched the DVD extras, but I love this historical period so I can only imagine the extras would be awesome too.

A fascinating and very entertaining series - gorgeous costumes, superb acting, well written. Definitely not for family viewing - a lot of violence and other things inappropriate for children.

This is the best miniseries ever. The acting is absolutely phenomenal. From the first episode, you can't quit watching.

Overall a great show. only thing last couple of episode progressed too fast, little more details would have been great.

Great story. Went out and bought second season. Wish it would have continued.

This was Great addition to add to our movie collection.

Great cast, production values and history. Gritty and realistic.

The show is wonderful with superb scenery and great acting. The blu-ray is excellent in quality. Any draw back is all the red tends to bleed to the rest of the image.
