so it's worth watching even though it was only two seasons? It doesn't end on a cliffhanger does it?

Yep, still worth it. It didn't end on a cliffhanger tho just had a sort of ambiguous ending for one of the mains. Iirc there was a plan to have 4-5 seasons but they find out HBO pulled the plug on them. :martin: So they had to cram storylines that would have been the focus of seasons 3 and 4 into season 2. So they wrapped everything up but the show didn't have the pacing of the first season and because of time skips a character had to be recast.

There was supposed to be a movie as well but it was too late and a lot of the actors had already moved on and other shyt.

yeah, they screwed rome and deadwood, hbo didn't want to spend any money until Game of Thrones and Westworld came around, Spactacus is better but unfortunately just as gay, if not worse

Spartacus was definitely gayer but that show catered just as much to the straight audience. :russ:

Almost done with the show. One thing I noticed is it’s not until ep 5 of the last season when Vorenus’ youngest daughter says something, and it’s just the aunt’s name. :heh:

Great show. I'm always surprised HBO never returned to the era with another show. There was talk that GRRM and some other rappers might adapt I, Claudius for modern times but it never happened. I'd love to see something like that. There's so much interest in Rome, Egypt etc it would make sense.
