  • Give these Gladiators a chance!

    9.5
    It was the boring December-January season (TV-wise) that made me give this series a chance. I wasn't much impressed by the first episode (I thought the effects were too "300" - a lot of slow motion, flying blood - and the story didn't interest me enough either) but got hooked after episode 3. The intrigue, betrayals and schemes were great and the cast really got their act together as it went (everybody's great but I especially love John Hannah and his Batiatus). The violence and the gore took turns between the graphic novel style of "300" and the pure gore, no frills, more real-life effects (especially after Spartacus goes to the Pits). It is not recommended for everyone, though, the most sensitive and puritan might feel offended (there's also sex galore). However, if sex and violence is not a problem for you, you should definitely give this series a try, because it is highly entertaining!moreless

    I was originally not going to watch Spartacus, saw it on Netflix and I will admit... The thing that drew me in was the knowledge that Lucy Lawless was in it. And I am so glad that I didn't overlook it. The actors, writers and crew do a fantastic job portraying the time period. And the filming style and blood gives a nice nod towards 300.



    So many strong and well written characters for both genders, had plenty of favorites and was sad to see some of them meet an untimely demise. But every death for a major character was well thought out. RIP Andy Whitfield, you did a fantastic job and are definitely missed.moreless

    This show is a bloody mess of guts and fun. Sex, cruelty and absolute action. I truly recommend this to those who like to turn off their brains and just enjoy a ride.



    If you liked the two seasons of Rome and enjoyed the action brought from the movie 300 then this is up your alley. Easily offended need not apply.
  • "by jupiters cock now thats what i call script writing lol

    1.5
    "by jupiters cock now thats what i call script writing lol what other show could ever use such language. the blood and gore a cgi wow. i wish they would make more tv shows like this.

    hopefully it returns for a 3rd season and that the prequel doesn't finish it off. they are taking a chance but i am sure john hannah and lucy lawless would be worth watching. also crixus will be the main character i am guessing. i wonder who the new baddie is gonna be. perhaps doctorae will even be a gladiator for this season now that would be coolmoreless

    “Victory” worked well not only as a rewarding finale to a remarkably rich series, but also as a cohesive episode of television.
