Watching Rome

I am loving the Vorenus/Pullo bits.  It's very Sharpe/Harper.

Also, I think Vorenus is good-looking.  He's one of the many guys I find attractive when in motion but can never find a good still image of.

I always like the secondary characters best.

Perhaps it is because it is such an intriguing challenge to piece together their personalities, where the primary characters are generally handed to you upon a platter.  See my fascination with Roger Conway in the Saint books, with the telegrammatic Dick Foley in the Continental Op stories, etc.

My favourite Sherlock Holmes character is Inspector Lestrade.
