Reply to comment by Shivy_Shankinz in Discovery of embalming workshop reveals how ancient Egyptians mummified the dead by Magister_Xehanort

I really liked it. It came out before had the funds to do epic stories justice. As a result the creators had to jam what was going to be multiple seasons into the final season and speed run the rise Octavius.

The cast is great and I really like how the focal point of the story wasn’t just the “great men” ( Caesar, Pompey, Octavius, Cicero). They use Mckidd’s character to view Rome and the events of the time period through multiple lenses which I really enjoyed.

I wish they could have had the full run but it’s good as-is.

Rome and Deadwood were Sopranos hangover victims at HBO. Expensive to produce but didn't bring in the subscribers like Tony and co did

At least Deadwood got a finale movie of sorts

The Deadwood movie isn't great but it ties things up I suppose.

I get why they did it, but I really didn't like the flash backs in the movie. Especially having just watched the show but I recognize they had a huge gap in time. I still think most viewers would have rewatched for a refresher instead of trying to force a movie that could stand on its own.
