Me too. The production was a bit low-rent at times (I think I saw the same two or three vintage cars in nearly every establishing shot) but the actor who played Nero did an excellent job. A&E has had some very good original series lately - this, the Hornblower movies, and, um, the courtroom show directed by Sidney Lumet. Plus the Equalizer reruns. If I could buy cable a la carte, I'd only get it, Comedy Central, and Food Network (for Iron Chef, naturlich).
