This show is beyond awesome. I started watching it out of a love for HBO's Rome, and at first I was not interested. It seemed too forced and over-played the first few episodes. But soon throughout the season, you grow entranced by the complicated stories of people struggling to gain freedom, power, or love. There is a lot of sex and gore, but I'm a 22 year old woman and I thought it was artistic and sexy.I really became committed to the characters, and there are plenty of moments that made me teary eyed. I laughed a lot as well, and was awed by the fighting sequences.Overall a great show. Highly recommend it, if you can handle some gore and sex, and can enjoy a historical drama filled with funny, sad, gruesome, and romantic moments.
