Spartacus: Blood and Sand

[Leon]

Anybody been watching this on Bravo?  It started out a little bit excessive, but it's turned into quite a good series, and it's the big finale next week.

Watched about 5 minutes of one of them, was not impressed and havent watched it since

It didn't start well.  I was gonna give up after the first couple of episodes, mainly because they were focussing on blood/swearing/nudity more than the actual story.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for nudity, but the plot was suffering severely.  Since then, they got on track and it's been quite entertaining.

Agreed. I ain't no prudence but gratuitous didn't come into it. However later episodes have improved. I will definitely tune in for the finale.

Guys. Spartacus B&S contains everything a red blooded male grown before the 90s needs : violence and sex (often at the same time).
Don't look for a fine scenario or unexpected twists, there are not. Think of it as: 300 + Gladiator + Sam Raimi.
Watching Spartacus makes you want to eat a raw T-bone with a ton of fries. Watching Spartacus makes you want to drink a whole bottle of bad whiskey and crush your neighbor's door with a sledgehammer.

"Caaapua ! Shall I begin !!"
