The rise of television's Roman Empire

Recommended Posts

An old-time epic feel has hit Rome (the modern one) with the return of swords and sandals in two big-budget TV series shooting here, one a joint HBO/BBC production and the other for ABC.

 

The more expensive is HBO's "Rome," whose first season of 12 episodes is budgeted at roughly $75 million. ABC's "Empire" has planned eight episodes for a reported $30 million.

 

What do you expect from those? Rubbish or decent info?

The HBO/BBC series will have potential. The ABC one will likely be crap akin to something like Xena, Hercules or garbage like that. I'll still watch both and try to not be too skeptical before they even air ;)

After Watching the HBO series 'band of brothers' i expect another great series from them.

 

Band Of Brothers was excellent. absolutely amazing. hope this one is the same.

 

ABC one will probably be stupid and cheap. just to bring in the people to watch it and it will suck.
