The Proposal

“Rome” is another impressive HBO original series. This series chronicles the empire’s history from Caesar and beyond like no other series or movie has or like any other series or movie ever will. It’s historically accurate based on what’s been gathered about that time period. It’s amazingly well done in terms of production budget, and the original characters. The characters that it follows the closest- Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo are dynamic characters that you not only love to root for; you love to learn more about them and see them grow. As a series Rome is impressive, only HBO could pull off something like this and air something like this. It fits the spirit of Rome and captures the essence of it perfectly. It’s even a little raunchy… which let’s face it, so was Rome. This definitely isn’t for the young kids to teach them about Rome. Just like it’s not TV, it’s HBO- if it doesn’t have wiener, it’s not HBO… there’s a reason why this gets a TV-MA- it’s because they absolutely held nothing back in making the series. The Blu-Ray packaging of the series is striking.

Two seasons, one series, on ten discs in a beautiful book-type packaging is awesome to look at. The menu’s and the bonus features are equally impressive. Rome is a must if you love historical dramas, and a must if you love HBO original content. It’s not for the weak eyes, but neither was Rome.
