This is one of the better HBO series, with good storytelling, making it watchworthy, but be aware that the series has much liberal decadence, such as lots of pornography including gay scenes. They also change many historical characters to fit cultural marxist ideas. For example, Cleopatra is presented as a liberated slut, the great wise statesman Cicero is reduced to a weak comical character, and Octavia is made lesbian for no reason at all, and of course there are lots of random blacks and browns all around. However, the main characters are white and we are spared blatant marxism, making it a pretty good series overall!
