First off, I thought it was awesome. I deliberately waited until all episodes had aired so that I could sit down the last few days and simply watch #1-#12 almost straight through. Needless to say I was completely hooked after the first episode.

I was extremely surprised that they killed off Caeser in the first season, since I thought he was the best character and that the plotline was thick enough to delay it until next season. I suppose the next few seasons will dwell on the brief civil wars that followed Caeser's death? I was similarly surprised at the decision to kill of Vorenius's wife so suddenly.

But above all I was surprised that they omitted what I would have thought to be the most crucial line in the whole series, the famous "Et Tu, Brut?" Nonetheless it was a superb final death/season closing scene, and the line was certainly implied.
