Rome (HBO series) rating: 8/10

Politics at its most Machiavellian and shrewd, violence -- gladiatorial and otherwise -- in gory detail, nudity (Mark Antony played by James Purefoy is hung like a horse), sex, slavery and a dramatic storyline from Julius Caesar's time.

It's so good that I watched the first season -- leading up to about the time of Julius Caesar's assassination -- plus bonus DVD (10+ hours) in about two days. Unfortunately the second season has less action and punch than the first. And there are only two seasons.
