Yeah I watched some of it. Bad acting and a load of blood but not horrible. Starz needs to up the quality to get on par with a lot of HBOs stuff but hopefully they will.
Anybody else watch the first show? Not bad. Similar to 300 in the filming style.

I thought the 1st episode was alright. The 2nd is what is prob gonna keep me watching, ala True Blood. Much takes place at Batiatus' ludus the action is good.
The episodes will get much better & the 2nd season was ordered 1mo before the 1st episode aired.

Is this their 1st attempt at an original production? I had no idea this was even on.
The bad acting almost had me turn it off, but John Hannah and Lucy Lawless turned it around at the end. I'll definitely give it a few more episodes.
Lots of blood is always a good thing!![]()
Starz also has Crash w/Dennis Hopper. 2nd season just ended (I think hahaha). That wasn't too bad. They also had a couple of others that I don't think have done so well.
I liked it. I'm a sucker for sword and shield type movies though.
The nudity isn't too bad either!![]()
wasn't that the whole premise in making this?
Yeah, I think so. I hadn't read anything about it before I saw the first episode, but after reading a little on the Net it appears to be.
It's funny how they copied basically the same exact cinematography of 300 on many of the Spartacus scenes.
Semi-Spoiler Alert!!!
Spartacus rushing into battle solo w/ the slo-mo, two scouts crawling up the hill, sex scene that fades in and out every 4 seconds with different positions![]()
All those years of watching Xena as a kid and I finally get to see dem tayz.

Anyone still watching this?
It's great imo.
ing badass show minus the penis
This show sucks. I hate it how they rape old stories and history in some series or movies. And how it was made, seriously it looks like .
But well, people want to see exaggerated action, blood, blood, blood and sex, sex, sex. That's why these shows have success and movies like Alexander not.

The blood looks pretty ty but the rest is good enough. They film it on small sets/blue screens to keep the bill down. That way they can keep it going for many seasons.
I'm almost done with Rome (HBO) and I can say the acting in Spartacus is 10000000x better.
Season Finale was bad ass.
Damn, that deceitful snake Ashur got away.
You're joking, right? Rome is better in every way than this piece of .
Spartacus > Rome and that is a fact. Spartacus is a great show!
Best season finale I've ever seen.
Spartacus is a great show but Rome was wayyy better. ITs too bad that they had to ing rush it and end it sooner than intended.
It was pretty bad ass to see him and Crixus (however you spell it) to finally join forces and put everything aside. Them along side Doltore and there is no way they can be stopped. I hope they up that Army guy that hates Sparticus. It was classic when Sparticus ed that guys wife lmao.
no way! The only thing that kept me watching Rome was the Julius Caesar v. Pompey storyline. Once that was over it was a total zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz fest. The supporting cast was weak as cuzz.
That last episode of Spartacus was EPIC. I got goosebumps when **** got real.
