COMMUNITY REVIEWS

More good Rome, but starting to get rushed submitted by dimuziom on June 15, 2013, 10:27pm I've mentioned on other reviews of this season that it starts to get a bit rushed towards the end, and this is where it starts to really become obvious that the writers knew they weren't getting another season. The stories are still good, but the pacing is off, things move quickly which, in this case, spoils some of the tension and excitement. Worth seeing through to the end if you were a fan of the first season.
