over the top set and costume design, although not too over the top to appear rediculous - plenty of "perfect shagging" settings though
Dialogue is a rediculous attempt at trying to make them sound old fashioned and intelligent at the same time. Overly convoluted, although that might be an attempt to pad it out to an hour
Token gay character (Awww its such a shame he's gay, he was so hot)
I could go on but its been over a year since I watched itCoffee's for closersComment

Titus Pullo - British ex Slave, now common soldier, marries the slave girl yes, but he's quite happy whoring it and also sires Cleopatras son.
Lucius Vorenus - Doesn't cheat on his wife, just ends up killing her.
Then you're forgetting the characters of Caesar, Mark Antony, Octavian, Brutus, etc, etc, etc.
Which one was the token gay? Cicero? My missus didn't think he was too hot, maybe you're into 60 year old men.
Don't try to take it too seriously and it's actually a really good series."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith
On them! On them! They fail!Comment

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
