It is an absolute crime that BBC/HBO ended this show early.
Season 2 was completely rushed. It should of gone for several more seasons - being the most expensive show ever made at the time didn't help.
However
It is still one of my top ten shows of all time!
Although casting a pale Scotsman as the lead Roman was an odd choice, the acting and writing are spot on. You feel like you are really there in ancient Rome.
Highly recommended!
