I’m currently watching the Spartacus: Blood and Sand series. I’ve never been a fan of gladiator stuff but I must say that this show is surprising me immensely. I’m at the fifth episode.

According to wikipedia the series focuses on the historical figure of Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BC led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic.

The plot and dialogues are keeping my attention captured all the time. The more the show is progressing the better it become with an intricate storyline. Besides the images quality and special effects together easily equal most of the latest movies in theater.

I highly recommend watching it. I must warn you about one thing though; this show isn’t for sensible hearts as there are many disturbing scenes with graphics violence and strong sexual content in order to reproduce the social and bestial behaviors of this era. If you can deal with blood and gore you’ll enjoy this deep show.
