Slate: HBO's "Rome" a snoozer

Maybe this is why HBO is using striking, yet contextually indeterminate, images of beautiful women to promote a costume-drama like "Rome."

If you're looking to turn in early on Sunday nights this fall, HBO's limited series Rome, a $100 million BBC co-production premiering this Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET and running for the next 12 weeks, may be just the ticket. Of the six episodes that were released for press review, half a dozen put me to sleep by the end of the hour.
