One of the Best shows put on TV

This is easily one of the best shows that has been on TV. It's a dramatic, politico-intrigue thriller, and it's pretty accurate to the broader strokes of history (by TV/film period drama standards) -- perhaps though I don't expect the same level of exacting adherence to historical fact as the previous reviewer who complained that Cicero wasn't actually in Rome during an important vote. The acting is superb and the cinematography lives up to the high standards set by other HBO shows.

All the reviewers who gave this box set a low rating for its price: you are not helpful -- The price fluctuates, but the product doesn't change. I agree with what you are saying that it is stupid how these WERE priced more as a boxset than individually, but you should add your comment about the price to the end of your post as a footnote -- and you shouldn't incorporate it into your rating of the ROME series (maybe minus one star if you feel it's a huge ripoff, but make that clear). Any semi-conscious consumer knows $180 is a rip-off, to say nothing of the fact that we all have different price points. All of you are being so unhelpful while being self-righteous/whiny it is ridiculous.

Pay no attention to idiots

Pay no attention to the idiots who one-starring the deal. They complain that Amazon is claiming the original price is $180, when the discs sell separately for $50, but they're not taking into account that the $50 is Amazon's discounted price, not the original suggested retail price. the HBO store sells each season for $100 each.

These idiots are mad because Amazon is undercutting THEIR OWN discounted prices!

It's a good deal. Buy it.

Fantastic TV show

I borrowed Rome from a friend last year since I do not get HBO. I was immediately hooked to this show. It is very entertaining, with fantastic costumes, scenery, and character personas. While not a show you would want a child or young teen to watch (they're definitely not afraid of showing nudity), most adults cannot help but enjoy the story as it unfolds.

The normal price of these two sets sold together is fairly high, but if you can get it at a sale price (like today's deal of $60!), it is well worth the expense.

Worth every penny of its price!

Excellent exposé of the origins of western civilization. The series is so well researched and portraited that it is unbelivable. In 2,000 years we have not changed a bit. The same day to day hostilities that the romans had, we still have. The Roman Gladiators of today are the WWF, UFC and Boxing fights. We may not have slaves but big corporations have enslave us. So where is the difference?

entertaining series

The first season was riveting, second season not quite as intense but still great. The acting was terrific, and the characters were colorful. I wish HBO would make a third season.
