1. Quality

2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   I went into this series expecting a crash and burn, but was happily surprised when it turned out to be a pretty decent viewing experience. I bombed my way through the series in only a few days (Netflix was only showing it streaming for a few days), but I didn’t find myself bored or wishing I could watch over a longer period of time.

   Costumes are good. Acting is good. Storyline was close to what I remember from the book, though obviously some stuff had to be modified for the film adaptation.

   It’s not The Wire, Breaking Bad, or The Sopranos, but it’s better than Rome.
