Are you familiar with the literary technique of foreshadowing? Why do you suppose the film makers dropped all of the hints you just mentioned? Is it perhaps because they want the viewer to understand ahead of time that Antony will be attacked in the forum?
It's just one of many examples of what I was arguing (and most people here seem to agree). I think that post was from more than a year ago, so forgive me if I'm fuzzy on what exactly was being talked about (and I don't care to check).
Regardless, foreshadowing is one thing. Removing all suspense and questions as to how something will happen is quite another.
The biggest shock of the whole series is that Caesar didn't say anything at all to Brutus (which, depending on what you read, may or may not be accurate)
EDIT: That being said, the show is still enjoyable, just not very suspenseful.
