Having just watched it recently, I would highly recommend the series "I, Claudius," even if the series is surpassed in detail by the books. It still should fairly be able to retain its status as a well scripted series, and it is fantastically acted (as is to be expected with a cast consisting highly of Shakespearean actors). I'm sure many of you have seen it given the subject matter, but I'd feel unjust if the opportunity to promote it were to pass in such a forum.

Cattle die, kinsmen die, the self must also die. I know one thing that never dies: the fate of the honored dead. Hávamál, Gestaþáttr, #77.
