For the glory of Rome

My family has been bugging me to watch Rome for some time now and tonight was the first episode on BBC 2. (If you want spoilers visit the HBO site, as they’re 11 episodes ahead of the BBC.)

A co-production between HBO and the BBC, Rome brings together the Emmy award-winning producers of series Six Feet Under and The Sopranos, with the BBC’s worldwide reputation for period dramas. Launched earlier in the year on HBO in the US, Rome now comes to BBC TWO.

I have to say, i’m quite impressed. However, between this and Lost my Wednesdays are going to be completely shot.
