Rome? Carnivale?

[mrv3000]

So thinking about my previous post and shows I've not watched, I think I'd be most inclined to check out Rome. So is it 2 seasons and that's it?

Also, did anyone ever get into Carnivale? I saw the first couple of episodes of that and really liked it. Is that show still going? Or if ended, did they complete the story? Or was it left open-ended? I wouldn't mind watching it all if a complete story has been told.

And in looking up Rome on Netflix, I was reminded of my loathing of Romeo & Juliet (as it popped up on my "Rome" search.) The play, the movies...everything. If you can't figure out if someone's dead or not, you really don't deserve to procreate. Dipshits.

Rome is great, and is currently about 3 episodes into the second season. My understanding is that, as you said, there will only be two seasons. You have to be prepared for some fairly violent stuff, lots of language, and a fair amount of nudity - of both sexes.

I never saw Carnivale, but my understanding is that the first season was much better than the second - at least according to someone at work who watched it.

*prepares*

Maybe I'll just wait until it's all out on DVD and then blow through it all.

I'm a bit turned off at the thought that it was left hanging though.

It's only going to be two seasons? damn I hadn't heard that.

I had heard that from my flist. HBO is giving it the axe because it's just *way* too expensive to make.

That's what I heard. I guess it's very expensive to make.
