This mini-series was fascinating at times, but could get to be too much. I did not expect a 4-hour drama on Rome to have such an interesting, winding plot - sometimes too winding such that I felt lost and wondered what motivated certain characters. I didn't care for the melodramatic music throughout and thought the acting was often likewise emotionally manipulative rather than believable. However, Jeremy Sisto was good as Caesar, for the most part, a surprisingly versatile actor. Pompeii and Brutas were my favorite characters and the parts were also well-acted. On the whole, I felt it was too soap-like and thus hard to appreciate, in spite of the great setting and costumes, fine story and interesting characters.
