Rome: I don't get it.

No, not travel. TV. HBO.

We rented the first two episodes of Rome, and we were both bored. Not entirely bored, but enough so that neither of us felt like trying episode #3.

Tonight, about a month later, #3 was on. I tried again, and got through about 15 minutes before wandering off to beat myself about the head and neck. Seriously, what is wrong with me/us? Isn't this show essentially designed for my household? Appreciation for history: check. Some knowledge of the time period: check. Interest in that particular time period: check.

But really... No. I don't get why it's so popular and/or critically acclaimed.
