New "Spartacus" series on Starz...wow

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone catch the new series on Starz called ""Spartacus"?

I thought it was great...very much in the vein of "300"...really bloody and lots of sex and nudity...


Other Impressions???

It should be called "Spartacus: Blood and Gratuitous Nudity".

But I do like. It may not be as good as Rome, but it is still a pretty fun show.

I watch most my TV at work on the weekends (I love my job!)... I watch Sparticus at home

I'm 3 episodes behind right now. I've been too busy at home to get caught up. I've got oral surgery on Wed, so I plan to catch up after that.

Lucy Lawless looks amazing... and she turns 42 tomorrow!

I tried watching it with my husband, but we found it....pretty awful.
We loved Rome though, and Deadwood - guess we were expecting the same character depth and story-telling style.

Rome and Deadwood were great. The Spartacus program looked low budget bad, but I didn't watch for long enough to get a better feel.

Oh, it looks like Rome is headed back as a film:

I heard about that! Along with A Game of Thrones (HBO is producing this , one of my favorite book series of all times) it is on my Can't Wait To See list.

This show is horrible. The scripts are melodramatic to the point of being goofy, the acting is campier than a John Waters film and the CGI looks like something from an old Sega Genesis game. I haven't missed an episode.

Me and my friends have a power hour on Sundays now.

We watch Spartacus, The Pacific and then Breaking Bad. Three glorious hours of television.

Not only that, but redhead Lucy Lawless seals the deal.

I thought Rome was WAY better, Spartacus just disappoints me over and over and over.
