Rome, if you want to

So, the wife and I finally started watching the first season of Rome.  I have to say that so far, I'm really liking it.  The wife couldn't help comparing it to Deadwood, another HBO series we really liked; but I think that raised her expectations a little too high.

Still, it's really entertaining to watch, and I've been really getting into the story.  It's amazing how much lying, cheating, and backstabbing goes on in the show.  It's like watching a 2000 year-old reality show.
