Spartacus: Blood and Sand

[jasonandrew]

I have very much enjoyed the series.

And really, I expected that I would like it.

It has Romans, gladiators, sword fights, politics, and a number of other elements that hit my weak spots. Bonus points for a nude Lucy Lawless.

The surprise in the series was the story. Elements were pushed forward. It had the feel of a British TV show.

The season finale was awesome. Bloody. Character dropped like flies. They helld nothing back.

I did not expect this. I thought there would be some sort of reset.

I was wrong.

I've watched this from the beginning and am seriously impressed. It is on my must buy list for when the season DVD release comes out.

However, it is not for the sensitive. I suppose that this disclaimer should be posted for those who haven't seen it yet.

I thought it was extraordinary! You see, what was best is that it was totally unpredictable. You really don't have "good" vs "evil." You have characters which can be both good and bad and generous and selfish. Spartacus himself was awesome. Can't wait for Season 2!
