 Great Action May 2, 2008
Rome takes you back to the times of the Roman Empire. This series is very realistic. It is packed with great action and has an amazing story line.
Brutal but excellent series October 27, 2007

To answer Paul Meyer: DVD's (and CD's) ARE covered by our free trade agreement with the U.S. BUT, if customs wants to, they CAN charge you FULL tax (HST,PST) on the declared value from the sender. In N.B., that is a whopping 14%. IF they decide to do that, or open the package, they also charge a $5.00 "handling fee" which I have never understood. I don't particularly WANT customs to "handle" my package, and I do resent that charge. Why should I have to pay extra for people who are well-paid to do their jobs anyway? It is hit-and-miss. Some they let go through, and some they charge the fees afore metnioned.
I bought ROME locally, and it DID cost. But, while the series is brutal, it is also fascinating. Some of the characters, such as Atia are particularly evil. This has all been covered in other reviews, however. It is a series that is instantly captivating.

Review deals with pricing only.
As of today, (Sept 10, 2007) Amazon.com offers ROME Seasons 1 and 2 for 54.99 US each, 109.98 for both. No free shipping to Canada, so each DVD will cost 1.99 $US shipping, for the cheapest/slowest method, minimum 16.99 $US for courier. Getting fast shipped to Canada will cost about 136 to 140 $CDN, assuming you don't get nicked for any customs duties or brokerage fees. Compares to 147.45 $CDN from Toronto, pretty much risk free.
Anyone know if Canada Customs charges import duties/handling fees on DVDs? I've had orders for clothing from the US where I've paid $25+ on one T-shirt just for the "brokerage" fees.
Anyway, caveat emptor, eh?
 49.99 ON AMAZON.COM DUDES! August 9, 2007

Rome is a very realistic and well-researched look into the lives of Romans. The series is very detailed and extravagant. The sets and costumes are gorgeous and bring beautiful colours to the screen. Romans loved rich colours and a lively life style. The scripts are very well-written and filled with plot twists.
The best part is this all happened. This is our history, and we are closer to it than we think.
