The only downside so far is the lack of overt hot man on man action but they seem to be prodding at the possibility every so often, and it is HBO so I suppose it's not completely impossible.
And yes, I'm enjoying the series greatly, considering my initial reservations about it with the usual craptacular historical epics, though I was amused by the Romans=Brits correlation. Now I'm just watching for well-known Brit actors to pop up (like the openly-gay Simon Callow in episode 6, god love him).
My only minor quibble so far: Romans didn't have stirrups! Gah! *history geek brain overload*
