One of the Greatest HBO series: Rome

This is one series that deserved much better, and it is not because of a low audience or anything like that. There have been two seasons and no more just because the powers-that- be considered producing this series was just too costly. Rome tells you the story of two Roman soldiers, Lucius Vorenus and Tito Pullo, and how they interact with prominent real historical figures as a Julius Caesar in his ascension to become the only governor of the Roman Republic or a still teenage but ambitious Octavius. The writers of the series do a magnificent job telling us the stories of these two men with distinct personalities but friends and heroes to the end. Also we get to see the intrigue, the ambitions of the powerful Roman families of that time, how they used people as pawns in their games of ambition and hatred and let their passions be the true dictators of the mighty Rome.you get to care forn these characters because though their masters become even more corrupt they stay true to their beliefs. ]By the end of season two we find Lucius and Tito escaping from the Roman army for crimes they did not commit. This series was supposed to continue showing how Lucius and Tito witness or even intervene in key historical moments until the time they cross paths with none other than Jesus Christ himself. Maybe one of the big U.S. studios will decide to take over from the point the European front that first undertook the production, left . Hopefully that will not be taking much longer though I´ve almost given hope. In the meantime both actors have landed small roles in Hollywood so Ray Stevenson was the Punisher in the last attempt of Marvel to raise interest for the character, while Kevin Mc Kidd  was Poseidon in Percy Jackson and the Stealer of Thunder. As I said before a great series if you can find it somewhere.
