I LOVED Rome, and wanted to watch it when I was 16. My mother did not allow me to, however, 16-year-olds can be more... advanced-thinking than one might believe. I was writing about this kind of violence/sexuality when I was 13, and I was NEVER allowed to watch stuff like this. As an adult I have thoroughly enjoyed Rome. It's an amazing series, great acting. Lots of blood and tawdry humor... but if you like that kind of stuff, then you'll loooove this.

I would have enjoyed this more - and think it would have been a better piece - had the sex not been so explicit. The sex could still have been there, but dealt with in a less overt manner. The impression I get from watching this is that the writers knew they could get a lot of sex in here and went the whole way with that. (I'm sure a lot of people will like it for that reason!) If you've ever seen "I Caudius", well "Rome" is not nearly as clever or as entertaining.

A Must See Show
This series is the best I have ever seen on TV based in Ancient Rome, nothing has ever come this close to how it was then. Awesome battles. Passionate drama. This is a must see if those who are fans of this kind of drama.

buy the edited version
the edited version takes out bad sex scenes and language. if you've read all the episode guides like me than it's really easy to understand. 2nd season is better. atia rocks. this show is genius
