Anyone going to see this? Looks very good

Apparently its the most expensive mini-series ever (or something like that).
No doubt some will be watching for all the sex, nudity and violence...

I've heard a 2nd season has already been comissioned, if its not being shown in the US. I'm sure there'll be a DVD too.

its a frigging awesome series, some great characters, and yes mucho mucho sex, nudity and violence....

"you will penetrate someone by the end of the day or I will burn your books in the courtyard"

"yes mother...."

I've heard one character greets another as "Brutus, me old cock!"

The ordinary Romans probably did speak like that to each other anyway (except it was Latin)

Huh? I didnt know that. Each episode is in a 50 minute slot.
I may well get it on DVD if its ever released then (and if its any good).

Good episode last night. I liked the "You will penetrate someone by the end of the day" line

..........

(Theyre all on a ship to Greece, during a storm).

"This is cack! I'm wet through!"
"We'll be safe. We made a good offering to Triton"
"If Triton can't keep me dry, he can suck my cock! (!)"
