This was a great opening episode. Being a history teacher I'm always skeptical about historical period dramas, however, I find Rome to be a fantastic historically based drama while not being totally correct. I enjoyed the momentary madness by Vorenus and the complete reversal of roles between he and Pullo. Vorenus being the madman and Pullo being sort of the voice of reason in the situation. I do believe they did try to cover too much material too quickly but overall it was a great start to the season and I look forward to more greatness this season. Max Pirkis being recast this season brings sadness for me because I do love what he brings to Octavian and I also look to see what the new season will bring for Pullo and Vorenus.
