Salve!
I have just watched the the first part of the HBO`s "Rome". I just didn`t get "into" it. Some sex, some violence, qaction, very unconvincing Caesar, crappy equipment.... In my opinion a bit younger Roy Scheider would have been perfect for the part of Caesar!
I know I should appreciate the s entertainment value of "Rome" but still... Perhaps I am too old (39 years)? Having just watched the "I, Claudius" series again I must say that the old-style slow-flowing narrative works much better and the actors are from another planet compared to this "Rome".
I will watch of course the whole series of "Rome" but not anticipating much...
Regards,
