Just finished watching Season 1 of the show and wow I was amazed . The first 5-6 episodes were average , not a lot of character development or plot but after that it picked up amazingly . A must watch if you are a fan of war/gladiator movies .

Also, it has fantastic nudity! Lucy Lawless! (Xena) :p #PervertTalk
 
So, watching the first season. And again... not very impressed. :D

Too much nudity with no good reason. A bit too inspired with the special effects of 300? How many times do I need to see blood coming out of the mouth of people in slow motion? heh. It is hilariously bad.
 
the story does pick up after the 5th episode. can't be compared to GoT of course.
 
right. just noticed your two year old post. i am on ep05 hoping that it gets better from now on! it looks like a b-grade inspiration of 300. :D i almost expect Gerard Butler to appear out of nowhere and kick some arse!

"There is no such thing as gratuitous sex. Gratuitous violence, yes... Sex cannot and will not ever be gratuitous." - Detective John Munch.

Starz is premium cable and they have a sex and nudity quota to fill.
 

hah. i am nearing the end of season one and yes it gets interesting. and yes, excessive and senseless nudity continues!
 
At the end of Blood and Sand, Andy Whitfield, the actor who played Spartacus was diagonosed with cancer. While he was getting treatment, they shot a season which is a prequel to Blood and Sand and is called Gods of the Arena. Unfortunately, Andy lost the battle with cancer. R.I.P. Andy.Liam McIntyre played the character of Spartacus in Spartacus: Vengeance.
 
whoa. had no idea. :| it would be weird to see another person play his character at a later stage.
