    I agree with everything on your list. Rome heads my list of the best tv shows of all time. I've watched and enjoyed most of the others, with band of brothers being another favorite. Have not yet seen Black Sails or Atilla, but now I know where to find them.

      Yeah, "The Tudors" got some things wrong (such as his sister marrying the king of Portugal when in fact she married the king of Scotland), but the overall plot line is fairly accurate. But it should have been titled "Henry VIII" since it was all about him.

    Seen all of them at least once, good choices, even though Vikings is a bit of Hokum mainly aimed at prepubescent boys. "The Last Kingdom" would be a better choice, if available? I'm was surprised at John Adams too, it was really interesting. As an Englishman. It opened my eyes to a lot of distortions that many Americans still believe?
