The Tudors vs Rome - Blu-ray Forum

derelicte · 12-07-2009, 05:33 PM

My wife and I just finished the first season of The Tudors and really enjoyed it! We will likely continue on to the following seasons asap. The question I had was whether it's worth getting into Rome as well?
From my understanding, The Tudors is more of a "political intrigue in the ruling class" sort of show whereas Rome focuses more on the common folk. Is that fair?

Which do you prefer and why?

Me and my wife like Rome more than The Tudors. I like Rome more because you see a lot of boobs and killings.

Haha, I know more kids would pay attention to history if they focused on the boobs and killings more in high school...

Rome is a brilliant Series. The one main difference between Rome and Tudors is the produciton of Rome is quite simply amazing.

Their both very good however.

I prefer The Tudors personaly, I watch the first 6 episodes of Rome and gave up, I know too much of Rome history and it was just not working for me. Actors were not convincing, realism is not there. It's a good series but it's a fail for me compare to The Tudors.

I loved the first season of Rome. The second season was too rushed unfortunately. I prefer the Tudors

I hugely prefer Rome... but Tudors is worth watching.

Huge fan of Rome, but I enjoyed the Tudors as well.

Can only comment on Rome. Just received my UK import and watched the first 10 minutes. Just as addicting as the first time I ever saw it. It's fantastic IMO.
