    HBO's "Rome" sucked!

    I kept watching it, hoping to get better but it never did. They got an army of untalented, anemic, pasty face actors playing the part of B.C. Roman gladiators with thick British accent and thin, flabby arms. The story line is bland and the dialogue is even weaker than the actors. What a let down after 6 Feet Under.

          I was really looking forward to that one! HBO usually produces some great stuff.

          Btw anyone seen "Over There"? Not sure if or when it will make it to 'over here'. War dramas are such great sunday afternoon hangover cures.
          meh

                  It was not to bad not exciting opening though the fight scenes were extremely bland and the use of british actors and dialect a horrible idea

                    Unfortunately there is only one more episode of Entourage to follow Rome. The best part of Rome was in fact Entourage directly following it.

                      Fortuantely there will be Deadwood again soon. New episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm are only a few weeks away. Sopranos should be back this winter too.

                            That really sucks - I was really looking forward to it - they hyped it up like Gladiator - shit oh well.

                                    I watched half of it and fell asleep

                                    The british accent really got on my nerve (No offense, I love the british accent in movies like Snatch etc...totally cool...but in HBO's Rome?? why..)
                                    mmm my sig was too big... no more cool animation

                                      I just finished watching the 6 OZ seasons (didnt really got into it when it was airing)...I have to admit it was a fucking great prison drama...except for the last season...which sucked....

                                      not sure what to expect with Prison Break...

                                            Yes because using AMERICAN accents would have been more authentic.

                                                here's a clue: Romans didn't speak english....


                                                doesnt matter which accent you give them....it's an american show....they could be using american accents...

                                                But it sounds like you want the show to be as authentic as possible so perhaps they should be speaking latin?....

                                                      No shit really.

                                                      doesnt matter which accent you give them....it's an american show....they could be using american accents...
                                                      Oh only Americans are allowed to watch this show?

                                                      But it sounds like you want the show to be as authentic as possible so perhaps they should be speaking latin?....
                                                      I couldn't care less. I'm saying to bitch about ROMANS not speaking like AMERICANS instead of BRITISH is stupid. PERIOD. Just wondering, did anybody here get upset that main character in Gladiator spoke in an AUSTRAILAN accent? no. Hmmmmmmmm.

                                                          huh where did I said that only american were allowed to watched the show??? Are you saying that... because they have a british accent, only british can watch it??? So if they had american accent, therefore, british can't watch it?

                                                          You're kinda digging too deep...I said the british accent was annoying me...(and i'm not the only one who mentioned it in this thread) that's all...don't try to put things in my mouth...

                                                          You're the one who came to this thread with the "authenticity" arguement...fact is, they dont speak english in rome...

                                                            This could be the reason for British accents:

                                                                        I just finished watching the 6 OZ seasons (didnt really got into it when it was airing)...I have to admit it was a fucking great prison drama...except for the last season...which sucked....

                                                                        not sure what to expect with Prison Break...

                                                                        Fox needs to bring back shows like Strange Luck, John Doe, Firefly...
