The lavish look and feel of all the scenery and costumes added immensely to the enjoyment of the show, but darn those silly accountants who say it's too much.
I wanted to like Showtime's "The Tudors" as much as I liked "Rome," but I'm dreadfully disappointed in it. Johnathan Rhys-Meyers is the hottiest hottie out there right now, but even he's not enough to keep me from cancelling my DVR subscription to this one. CGI cut scenes of castles w/ horses out front were really the last straw.
Well, with Sopranos ending, Rome not coming back, and Entourage's season about over, it looks like there goes my HBO subscription as well...
