Im a few episodes in and dont like it very much so far. Perhaps Game of Thrones set the bar too high for epics and this doesn't compare, or perhaps I am a pleb. Which one is it?

rome was never good. i like history and study latin etc, but no amount of pretending is going to make this good.
it's Claudius or nothing

>Perhaps Game of Thrones set the bar too high for epics
Is this a joke?

GoT is for hacks.
Rome is kino

Literal plebeian

Nope, watching a grand scale show with its diverse locations and amazing cast of characters like Game of Thrones makes look Rome uh inadequate if I might say. I'm guessing I would have thought this show was amazing if I watched it during its initial airing.

This is now an I,Claudius thead

I started watching this from the fallout of binge watching Vikings. The problem is that the Pullo-Vorenus partnership is not as good imho as Aethelstan-Ragnar. Also no one in Rome even comes close to the presence that Ragnar possesses.

Rome>Gladiator>The Sopranos>Spartacus (STARZ series)>Spartacus (film)>I Clavdivs

[Gestures intensify]

Is it really that bad? I loved Rome and would be interested in watching kino films about ancient Rome.

>this is what game of plebs posters believe
I don't even like Rome but don't delude yourself.

Try reading what you just said and you'll have your answer

It's antiquated. The modern acting style is several layers removed from what you'll find in it. Novels have changed a lot as well so the source material isn't fresh either. It's an old stale boring fartfest. I actually dare you to try to watch it.

>tfw we'll never get the full Anthony storyline and instead have to put up with the compressed season 2 version

>The Sopranos
oh I get it

I, Claudius is great.

Rome's one of my favorite HBO shows but I, Claudius is far superior. Don't listen to the underage posters. He was probably jerking off to trap porn on his phone while he """watched""" it.

keep loudly pretending that rome was good and you will get a remake my friend

You have terrible taste, the attention span of an American and you should feel bad

I prefer DS9 over TOS as well

GoT is Rome on sterioids. Basically a historically ambiguous expensive telenovela.

What are the best telenovelas to watch and why?
