Movies and TV Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Fruit Ninja · 12-03-2009, 04:55 PM

I am very interested. New show that starts in Jan on Starz

Looks awesome - hopefully they will tell us up front that it will last two seasons before they cancel it because it costs too much money (see "Rome" - HBO)

kpic · 01-14-2010, 04:35 PM

Wow, bumping my own reply to remind everyone (and my future self) that it starts on Jan. 22 - set your DVR now!

A bit 300 much?

Three words...

Lucy. Lawless. Naked.

(Seriously)

I saw the first couple of episodes a little while ago. The first episode is absolutely brutal. And not in a good way. It was like the writers took a porno and 300, snorted about 20 8-balls and mashed it all together. TOTAL cheeseball. The second ep. was much better in my opinion at least from a continuous show standpoint. Hopefully they keep it somewhat realistic.

Looks pretty awful. But entertaining. I'm a total sucker for cheesy low budget crap like this though. As long as it doesn't bill itself as something it's not.

I'm really starting to dig this show now. Much improved over the pilot. It looks like the writers decided to slow down and develop the characters and the story. The violence is delightfully brutal but not over done in a CGI cartoonish way.

It ain't ROME, and it ain't perfect, but it's officially part of the rotation at the moment.

Man, Rome was so so so good. Sometimes I hate HBO for loving their shows so much only to see them die prematurely (Deadwood, anybody?). I don't get Starz, though, so I'll probably have to watch at parent's house or DL it if you say it's [even somewhat] close to Rome.

I'm glad I continued to tune in after the pilot cause it didn't impress me at all. But now, if I can't watch it on Sat night, I catch it on Netflix. Pretty good show.

I dig it. It's not the best series ever, but it's entertaining, and that's ultimately all I ask for out of a TV show.

You're exactly right...I mean after all isn't that the entire point. To be entertained? It doesen't have to be the most well written, directed, and acted tv show to be entertaining.
