Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHxn8mTpAJU
Note: It has ample supply of blood, violence and nudity as does the series itself. You've been warned.

I've heard the series has not been rated very high by critics, but I've found myself quite enjoying it, probably because it is quite different from other series airing at the moment. And of course, the amount of blood, violence and boobies appeal to my inner teenager.

[TrashMan]

Any show that tries to sell itself  with phrases like "The bloodiest show on TV" earns negative points from the very start.
It stinks of cheapness and trying to get attention by being contraversal...darker and edgier.

[Fury]

Well, I find it highly likely it is in fact the bloodiest show on TV.

When Rome came out it drew a lot of complaints about the amount of blood and violence. So one reporter asked a historian if they'd gone over the top only to get told that the series was actually far too tame to be a realistic depiction of ancient Rome.

This is not a bad thing for my personality. I'll watch the trailer at work when possible.

[Mefustae]

Is it just me, or are they really channelling '300'? Not just the copious amount of slo-mo, but the art-style as well.

[Fury]

Can't say really as I haven't seen 300 to date.

The lighting's a lot better than 300.

[BloodEagle]

So it's the Cinemax Showtime version of Gladiator? With ketchup on the side? [/not impressed]

We're talking about a city that, at one point, had blood running through its streets because of the degree of political butchery going on.

[Ashrak]

this series ROOOOOCKS

[SpardaSon21]

Oh yeah, it rocks.  It's like someone took Gladiator, 300, and Rome and shoved them all into one series.

Bloodshed and violence?  Check.

Copious amounts of breasts and sexual debauchery?  Check.

Political intrigue and other assorted scheming?  Check.

[Angelus]

The trailer looks apealing. To bad that that show will never get aired here.

[iamzack]

what's that word?  I think it's another word for a large amount of rushing water, but i can't quite put my finger on it...

Overblown as usual....

Really? That's an anecdote directly from a Latin professor.

[SpardaSon21]

Eh no TrashMan, Rome was actually horrifically bloody since the best (and often only) way to advance was to climb over the corpses of your rivals.  They also had those gladiatorial games where slaves would be pit against one another in matches to the death, and there's the whole feeding Christians to lions things too.

Rome may have been outwardly a nice place thanks to stuff like roads and sewer systems, but it was as bloody as a Dark Eldar Kabal when you got closer to the heart of it.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The only thing worse than excessive blood is excessive blood and gore, right?

[Colonol Dekker]

You should have posted this trailer too..

Much less political intrigue than I have been led to believe, mostly it's just all kinds of people trying kill each other.
But I like it so far, and I'm looking forward to a second season.
