If you want to learn what the Romans did not look like, watch Spartacus Blood & Sand. That's all I can say about the accuracy.
Can you enlighten us in what is so bad regarding the recreation of the Romans on that tv show ?
Kinda curious too. I always take any depiction of ancient times with a grain of salt since we can only guess as to how people actually looked and lived back then. The only stuff we know now is based on word-of-mouth and archeological finds. Not to say that you can't deduct anything from those sources, but just saying you can not really say for sure they
didn't look like that. Wrong tanks in Battle Of The Bulge? Big distraction in a so-so movie. Wrong uniforms in a well made period drama not so much.
Anyway to keep on topic: Season 4 of
Castle just ended last weekend. I'm now halfway through the season (averaging 3 eps a night) and I love how good it is. And it feels like it keeps getting better the more the actors grow into their role. Every episode is like a cool minimovie, with everything in it. Romance, tension, gunfights, humor, cameradery, etc. While it's basically a murder-of-the-week show, multiple episodes already hint at something bigger yet to come.
