The series, Rome, was very quiet, unintteresting and univolving through much of the first four disks. By disk number 5, Rome grabs you and won't let go. I couldn't stop being involed with characters such as Julius Ceasar, Antony, a very interesting Cleopatra, plus a very evil pair, Atia and Sevilla.The last two disks raise Rome to tagic levels that totally took me by surprise. I am sure season two will rise to a 5 star season. Joe Tucci
