I first saw this BBC series in the 1970s - it was stunningly good.
In the following 40+ years I have seen NOTHING to compare with this, while the average TV output has just become more sensationalised/lurid, trivial and lower quality. Even giants like The Sopranos are merely 'good' by comparison.
If you have not seen this, treat yourself to a feast of superb acting, riveting history, brilliant screenplay and direction.... but most of all, a compelling story of the great and (not so) good in Rome 2000 years ago.
