Review: HBO Rome Season 2 (2007)
Thursday, October 7th, 2021 22:34I think the second season of HBO Rome was a bit messy compared to the first season. I had heard that this show was supposed to be longer, but due to budget reasons was cut short, and as a result, several seasons’ worth of events was fit into one.
Admittedly, I lost interest in the show about halfway through. I felt that the show was focusing on stories that were not properly developed. I understood the logic behind the decisions the characters made, but I just didn’t feel invested in them as I had in the first season, and this was likely due to the condensed timeline.
I probably wouldn’t say that the second season was exactly good (especially compared to the first season), but it is only ten episodes, so I can see most people watching this season for completion's sake. And while the story wasn't my favourite, it was still a passable show with nice visuals.
