Birdwings

Finished Rome. It was a Christmas gift for my guy, adding to his stockpile of HBO shows, so it's been our evening watch and he enjoyed it a lot more than me - which is fair and correct. I didn't do a write up for season one because a favorite character of mine died in the last episode and I was too glum to bother, and then season two tripled down on the bleakness and abandoned all the comedic elements that made season one fairly breezy, so when I tried putting together some notes I just wasn't feeling it anymore. I seem to have lost my taste for shows without heroes. However, I did enjoy all the familiar faces throughout, and appreciated that most of them got meatier roles worthy of their considerable talents here, so that's what this post is about.
