US Timeline Spartacus: Blood & Sand : Season 1

Tezcatlipoca · 18-01-2010, 20:23

New series starting on "Starz" (some US cable channel) on Friday 22nd January, about "Spartacus" (obviously).

From Robert Tapert & Sam Raimi (Hercules, Xena, Legend of the Seeker).

I very much doubt it will be even remotely approach the epic greatness of HBO/BBC's "Rome", & it may well even end up a load of crap... but it has some good cast members, including the lovely Lucy Lawless... oh, & I've read it's quite rude...

I watched 2 episodes yesterday

I really enjoyed it.

They have taken a very 300 apporach in the styling and there is nudity and a lot of blood and guts in it.

So much blood! This could be an awesome show.

After an iffy start, this has been getting better. And of course it's full of OTT blood, violence, & sex.

"I AM SPARTACUS!"

UK broadcast rights have been purchased by Bravo:

I am enjoying this but season 2 is delayed because the lead actor has non-Hodgkin lymphoma

Just have to say this show is superb and cannot recommend it enough.

Sad news about Andy Whitfield but I'm sure he'll be back in the arena soon

I thought the end of the previous episode was brutal, with Ilithyia smashing Lycinia's head in, but the latest one... poor Varro

I know I just watched ep 10. It is a good series I was off put at first by the comic strip blood effects but I am ok with it now lol . Shame we never got to see Xenas boobies when she was in her prime but they aint to bad still lol its certainly raunchy

Tezcatlipoca · 01-04-2010, 15:39

Yeah, I think it's greatly improved since the first few episodes.

As for Xena's boobies... I think they're rather impressive
