Rome ran for three two seasons and was successful, but extremely expensive to produce. It was a joint production from BBC and HBO. And then there was a huge fire at that burned a bunch of the sets down between seasons. They were lucky to get that last season put together.
I do wonder if modern tech would have made it more easily producible. I mean, we did get Game of Thrones which was hugely expensive and expansive.

Like Nero did? I bet there were some interesting headlines about it.
IIRC It was Doctor Who using the set that started the fire.
The episode in Vesuvius, huh?
