Spartacus (TV-R)

Anyone here watch this? Is this good? It appears incredibly bad, but I saw Xena's tittays and there's a lotta blood and gore, so there's that. If I "followed" this series, would there be some vindication?

The Kirk Douglas movie is one of my all-time favorites. The TV show is an atrocity.

Yeah, it appears incredibly bad. I'm guessing people here haven't watched it, or hate stopping for titties on their remote.

I recommended this series a while back. It's kind of B-movie style tv, but it's actually pretty well written & John Hannah is rarely anything but excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously.

the acclaimed version of this was already done with Rome.

I didn't mind this show at all. And the above quote is extremely on point.

Rome was pretty dull and bloated, and should've been a lot better than it was.

Spartacus - Blood and the Sand, pretends to be a blood, guts and boobs fest, but like good B-movies it's a lot better than that.
It was well received and got commissioned for a second season, but sadly the lead who plays Spartacus has been battling cancer, so it's been put on hiatus.

Roger Ebert can retire now. His successor is here.

For the 4 people interested a new mini-season of Spartacus just started.



It's a prequel to the previous season, telling the story of Batiatus and his training school.
