The Sopranos and Sex and the City may have gotten all the headlines for HBO, but this fascinating series is every bit their equal on every level, and it does it set hundreds of years in the past. Every episode drips with blood, sweat, nudity and political intrigue, but it’s the fantastic acting that makes the series pop. Kevin McKidd is mesmerizing as Lucius Vorenus, the old school centurion having trouble adapting to Caesar’s new ways. Ray Stevenson, on the other hand, as his partner Titus Pullo makes being a Roman soldier look like the most fun a man can have in a toga. History has never been this much bloody good fun before.
