    "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

    Oh man! I love this show soo much! I recommend it to everyone! It is like the movie 300, but on a much bigger budget, & rated R! I love how detailed everything is! they are very into authenticity. I love Spartacus, he is my hero! I am extremely in love with Andy who playes him! I honest to God hope he gets better! Even if he can not come back, he needs to stay alive & healthy!

    Alos, I love Crixus! He would be my 2nd choice as a lover! ^-~

  • Give it a chance. The pay-off is worth it! I'll try to be as vague as possible yet some spoilers may be present.

    I had my doubts about this show after the first couple of episodes. The dialogue and writing appeared weak, the action unoriginal, however I stuck with it and I must say I am glad I did.

    The writers really built up a tense and engaging first season ending in a bloody and unbelievably satisfying finale.

    The show at first appeared as nothing more than a mindless action show filled with gratuitous sex and violence. However if you can get past these things it is something truly worth watching. The characters are well developed each with an agenda or purpose that is explored in great depth without making the show convoluted and difficult to follow. Each action scene is well shot, with great special effects considering the budget. The action also does not distract from the story. You end up becoming involved in these characters and their situations. You care if they succeed or fail. You'll also find yourself rooting for characters you may have dismissed a few episodes earlier.

    Towards the end of the season the tension begins to mount and you find yourself on the egde of your seat as Spartacus gets closer and closer to his revenge. In the end you are not disappointed. I have not been this satisfied by a season finale in a long time. While satisfied you are still left wanting more. I hope Andy Whitfield makes a full recovery and is back on our screens before long. He carries the show well and I think we have seen just a peak of Spartacus: Blood and Sand's full potential. Bring on season 2!moreless

    A show of this calibre is hard to find this day and age, and this show definitely proves it's worth from episode to episode. The plot is always perfect, the twists welcomed as well as cringed at, it pulls you into the characters as well as the story. Right from the get go this show was amazing, and it just gets more so as it goes on. The character development is extremely exciting and interesting as the characters we come to love tend to be slaves of people we dislike. So their actions tend to be conflicting, and sometimes choices we don't want our beloved characters to make are thrust upon them. I love how things play out, it's pure excitement and entertainment from the start to the end. The length of the episodes is also perfect. It is like watching short length films, each episode having enough substance to continue the story without losing any interest. To be honest, this show brings to the table a very unique thing to me, a movie would not do it justice, as the content is better spread out in the form of episodes. It allows more content in less time, as well as a much bigger story to be told. The effects are also perfect, though the blood is not always real, the way they do everything in this show adds to the effect, it's simply amazing. Also, it seems as if we get an unfiltered view of what it might have been like living in this time period, there is no lack of nudity or provocative language, as well as violence. I really enjoyed movies set in this time period, and this show is the first to portray it so well. I can't wait to see what this show will bring as it continues to progress forward, and I most definitely will be tuning in for some time to come.moreless

My wish is that Andy would see and hopefully it would make him feel better. But thats always a prayer. Anyways, I would really appriciate it if you guys took a look at it. I am making more pictures from the show, at LEAST one of each character. I will be posting them on my youtube channel as soon as they are done so dont forget to check it out. Thanks
