Spartacus: Vengeance

so dissapointed with this series so far, im not bothered by the change of spartacus but for me the whole series is different, the dialogue is so much more thespian, great for theatre but not for tv drama, struggling to get into it to be honest and i absolutely love the spartcus series!!! what a shame!! gutted!!!!!

Shock by the ratings especially it just started. Even my rating is not a true rating just based on potential. My rating will change as the show develops further in the season, so far as the show starts it starts out in battle. And already there was lost in the show that were in season 1 now died in the first episode of season 2 really sad. So far for me this is getting good it is worth the watch.moreless

I though the show did what it has done before and given me something that I want to sink my teeth in to every week. I read allot of reviews about its not the same without Andy but the show has taken a new start with a new actor and I can see by the end of the season people will be saying that Liam has done the show a good job as Spartacus.

You can't compare a whole epic season with Andy from one episode with Liam because by the end I can see this season being as good as the others.

Thats the one thought i had after watching the 1st episode of the new season. I cant really put my fingers on it, but everything seems worse. The acting is more amateurish, the set look all too new and not worn or filthy enough. The worst thing is the babyface pretty boy that they got playing the new Spartacus.

I didnt expect them to bring Andy Whitfield alive in someone else. And i would have been ok with just about anything worn, torn, sad, angry, lost gladiator like actor. But this is a joke. That one casting mistake will put a huge dent in this show.

I mean the guys is supposed to have lost everything, sacrificed it all and fought thru hell.
Now he jokes, smiles and looks like he just came out of the bath with some manecure on top. Jeez..couldnt they atleast put some sweat and dirt on him. Scars? Spartacus must have 100 cuts and bone broken in his face, and this one one look like a new baby. I dont really blame the new actor for this. I blame the fking amateurs who casted him. You can fire the ppl making the creative makeup desicions too.
Im so disapointed they couldnt atleast make him look alright, im rightout speechless.
Is it still professionals who runs this show? I dont get how they can miss stuff like this. Damn.moreless

To everyone crying about how: "its not andy whitfield"...shut up...yes it sucks that he died and yes I liked him as well and am sad that hes gone...but fact of the matter is he IS gone and for better or worse... the show is exactly the same as I remember it was with him in it..(in fact the new guy I actually like better) the show still has great fight scenes and the story is very good....stop LOOKING for something to complain aboutmoreless
