I am currently watching Rome and love it but I think comparing this show to Rome (from what I've read from your descriptions) would be like comparing Drive to Fast & Furious The show is mostly gratuitous gore, violence, sex and nudity. It also has a pretty decent story, great acting, and decent visuals. EDIT: And great dialogue some of the best I've seen on TV in a long time. You be the judge. | ||

Rome is filmed in a realistic way, no visible special effects. Spartacus is way closer than 300 on this point if you did see it. Same kind of light, same kind of slow motions. A bit more gore and sex like said above than Rome, but it's not porn either. It's special, you love or you hate. | ||

Granted I only watched the first episode because the cheesy combat/romance made me want to barf, Rome just set the standards too high I guess and spoiled me. It just makes me wonder what was going on with the world that it got canceled and everything scrammed into the 2nd season, whereas this show has already made it to a 3rd (?) season. | ||

Its like going to the cinema to watch Die Hard and get Desperate Housewifes or something.Spartacus is a very good show. The dialogues are amazing, and the action, while over the top, is really fun to watch. But if you're to watch this with the mindset that its going to be historically accurate, you're better off watching a documentary. | ||

The first episode is definitely not the best example of the show... well besides the random blood splatters. The best thing about this show is the plot and you have to watch at least the first 5 eps to get what i mean. | ||

It just makes me wonder what was going on with the world that it got canceled and everything scrammed into the 2nd season, whereas this show has already made it to a 3rd (?) season. the first 2-3 episodes of the original season suck ass. i used to despise this show based on those mind-numbingly over-the-top episodes, and stopped watching till last year when i gave it another chance because of a friend who was watching the 4th episode of the prequel series - which got me hooked on a closer viewing, since it's amazing. once you look past the gore sex etc. the plot, character buildup, dialogue and acting are amazingly coherent and of much higher quality than what the first episodes of the original series would suggest. it's a great show, of a different tone than Rome, but equally good, or rather better, even though the over-the-top gore and sex propelled it to where it is now, which is an easier road to walk when you're putting something on television. what this show did for me though was teach me that gratuitous violence and sex in a series does not necessarily equal a cheesy low-quality or "for the masses" product, but rather that it can have those elements and still be a fine show. i'd watch this shit without the excess of blood and sexuality any day of the week granted it keeps the quality of production and solid acting/writing the prequel series had. now, i want to see where they're gonna take this, if they keep raising the stakes or fall back to 300 comicbook cheesiness, and ofcourse, see how much Gannicus ownage they can fit in ) | ||
