Very true, sadly. Anyway, the series took an unusual approach in portraying Rome as a real city with real inhabitants. Okay, there was a good portion of sensation mongering (sex, drugs & crime) and sort of "Dallas" (upper class intrigues and probs) - but in general, it had a different feeling I and seemingly many others had not expected. Hence I'd hoped for them going down the same road with sequels. Well, let's see...
