...image of the unarmed British bobby took a hit last week after new details emerged about the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, a Brazilian killed by police when he was mistaken for a suspected suicide bomber the day after the failed July 21 terror attacks.

This plebeian odd couple--Pullo's a rogue, Vorenus a by-the-book prig--offer grounding and some nicely turned comic relief, as when Pullo, jailed for disobeying an order, petitions Forculus, a Roman god of doors. "I will kill for you a fine white lamb," he promises. "Or failing that--if I couldn't get a good one at a decent price--then six pigeons." But the scripts resort to contrivance and coincidence to keep the pair at the center of events. In Episode 2, a confrontation that precipitates...
