I love the irony of visiting WaPo with the Democracy Dies in Darkness banner at the top of the page meanwhile the rest of the page is blocked by a paywall.
Rome was great and definitely canceled way too soon. But on the bright side HBO learned a lot from their experience with Rome which has led to the continued success of Game of Thrones, another epic series that costs a fortune to produce.
Not a fan of this idea
Unless maybe they change the rule to have two types of DPI. A minor DPI (bumping the receiver, arm barring, etc) would draw a penalty of spot of the foul up to 15 yards max. A flagrant DPI would be be spot of the foul or a minimum of 15 yards
The Netflix series is a lower quality production (less budget I think) but definitely worth watching. Very different takes on some of the characters.
And unlike the Showtime Borgias, the Netflix Borgias ran to a planned final season that wraps up several story lines
which Borgia series? There were two concurrent Borgia series, one on Netflix and the other on Showtime, that sometimes get confused with one another
The Borgias, Showtime, with Jeremy Irons as Rodrigo
Borgia, Netflix, with John Doman as Rodrigo
Carter won in 1976 so there was a wose candidate
McGivern is debatable. Terrible candidate but not despised on a bipartisan level like Hillary
Mondale had the misfortune of running against Reagan in 1984. Even a strong Democratic nominee would have lost handily.
Dukakis might have been a stronger candidate if he didn't have to run against the shadow of Reagan
Then there was the attempted mass assassination of Republican Congresscritters by a Leftist.
That news cycle went from wondering if that would affect Republican stance on guns, to the revelation the shooter was a Lefty, to one of the Capital police injured was a black lesbian, then back to RussiaRussiaRussia!!!
I loved Deadwood. Didn't catch it when it was airing on HBO but I did get a good binge out of it
Another HBO series worth mentioning, Rome
Started off great but went downhill in the last two season
