Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Monty Python's Flying Circus or Malcolm in the Middle, start here.
The mood: Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace: 5 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 22 minutes each).
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

Sitcom about three desperate young men from the suburbs who try to get laid, hold down jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city - which just happens to be ancient Rome.
