Naw, they rushed season 2

Literally because HBO wanted to do GoT

Nope, Black Sails is the show that did what Game of Thrones didn't. The Black Sails series finale is one of the best in the history of TV

I guess the downvote was from a friend of mine who started hating the series because gay reasons...

Gay reasons? count me in.

Rome was a great series, it's budget was just too high even for a joint production.

I haven’t heard of it before but now I want to check it out

Oh first season is top notch.

Then try the old I,Claudius 2with Derek Jacobi

Is there anything similar that isn't necessarily historical? Not a huge fan of Roman era stuff.

Oh, we're so bored, we're comparing rich fucks' fetid, steaming leavings? Classy. 🤌🏼

Yes, the television community is for talking about and comparing television-series. Crazy i know
