Season 1 was good. I couldn't make it through season 2, gave up about 5 episodes in.

>I couldn't make it through season 2, gave up about 5 episodes in.
That's because they literally received the cancellation notice out of nowhere and had to half-ass it and gloss over a billion things.
PULLO?
Bring back Carnivale you fucks.
Also a reminder if it wasn't for Rome and Carnivale HBO wouldn't have been able to fund large projects like GOT

Why do you bring back the hurting OP?
Stop being so cruel and let us forget

>if it wasn't for Rome
Rome was massively successful and still drained all their money.
does anyone have a webm of Pullo applauding with a big shit eating grin when the hold a baby up that's actually secretly his? it's a 10/10 moment
>>67355773
so i mean this scene
i remembered i made a gif of it years ago but it's like 20MB
Good, Rome was great but not that great.
>>67355496
This applies to both Rome and GOT, kek
>>67355272
it didnt have any real support for how much they sunk into it
game of thrones had a established reader base because of the novels and buzz which is what hbo wanted.
people that didnt watch rome dont give a shit about their story. your asking people to give it a chance with zero buzz. in comparison it didnt have GOT or even walking dead figures for ratings. it wasnt a breaking bad or sopranos
>>67356080
>it wasn't a breaking bad or sopranos
So what it was then?
>>67355272
That's not why it was cancelled at all anon. In fact after GoT started doing well didn't the HBO prez or someone along those lines come out and say 'we made a huge mistake' re: rome, deadwood, carnivale and cancelling them all for being too expensive.

a rome
>>67356157
tho iirc the real main reason Rome had to be cancelled was the BBC or whoever was co-funding it pulling out, yeah?
Carnivale worth a watch m8s?
I loved Rome and Deadwood to bits
Thinking of starting it after I finish Six Feet Under
>gypos kill Pompey
>Caesar knows this is an attack on Rome's authority

Yes. The ending is a little rushed, but it's still more or less a complete arc. Carnivale was lucky in that the showrunner planned three 'books' that were all two seasons each. So while there's still main mysteries hanging in the air the first 'book' was at least completed.
Really amazing show, watch it.

"Amazing".
Incest? Sure, why not.
Rape? Oh, but of course!
Gay rape? Please, do, how progressive!
They took a great production and fucked it up with some teenaged tumblr tier "edgy" writing.
Rome was shit, and it died the death it deserved.
Don't understand the hype behind carnivale but in particular rome.
Carnivale was actually decent, but not good enough to warrant watching knowing that it's unfinished.
Rome, only watched season 1, but my God it's the very definition of plodding. Mediocre /10

Blu-ray release when?
>We'll never see Justin and Ben arguing about the nuke, with Ben eventually realizing it needs to go off for humanity to mature

Put that bitch ass Gyppo "king" in his place.

Rape was a big part of the ancient world. I get what you're saying but at least in Rome it made sense.
Agreed about the incest though, that felt super unnecessary.
>>67356540
I don't remember the gay rape.

The show was wildly over budget and wasn't getting the ratings to justify the cost. The first season cost $120 million and was only getting like 2 million viewers an episode, which is good for an HBO show, but not one that's that fucking expensive.
Game of Thrones actually had some budgeting and got better bang for their buck. It helps that it ended up becoming the biggest show on TV by the fourth season.

Rome’s last episode : March 2007
GoT first episode : April 2011

>drained all their money
HBO's profits are almost $2 BILLION per year...
They weren't losing money on "Rome", they just didn't want to spend a penny more then they had to.

It wasn't gay nor rape if you did the fucking, it's called being manly

Yeah, Obama is a Mudslim, that ain't news. Thankfully the Crusader God-Emperor will overthrow him this November.
