Rome

The second series whereof is proving to be very entertaining, especially now that the main characters have filled out and seemingly settled into their correct dramatic groove within the historical narrative. This week's episode had the delightfully menacing Mark Anthony pissing into Cicero's pot plants and Octavia and her Sloane Ranger girlfriend "inhaling hemp". It also featured more of the kind of zesty dialogue that we've come to expect:
"Nobody in my family sucks cock without I say so."
Meanwhile Titus Pullo continues to explete his way through the story, a "cack!" here and a "Juno's cunt!" there, with the occasional more obviously anacronistic "oh bollocks!"

I'm glued.
