Rome

Have to say did not buy directly from Google, watched the two series first time round then watched again on Netflix. I was absolutely glued to the box with the political back stabbings and the rise of a simple soldier to senator under "Ceaser's" command, and the rise and fall of above said and his infamous murder on the steps of the Senate by his 'peer's'. Really gave a look into the lives from common man to men of means and how untimely death was common place in that era for anyone. This is very well written and directed also acted and you are put right into the life's of these people as much to say "their shoes " and you could feel the blows that they was dealt because you are dragged in emotionally. It also dealt with some very taboo subjects which may have commonplace then but was beginning to be frowned upon by the people. Treat yourself to this stunning catalogue of events my words do not do these two seasons justice.

I was so unhappy when HBO/BBC cut the third series because of budget issues, yet it still is my favourite show of all time! ;)
