This season is going to be epic! aren't there four? spartacus, gannicus, doctore and crixus I still think crixus > spartacus, they never had a fair fight after theocoles, the others are around equal | ||

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. It's not just historical accuracy, Rome had it's fair share of historical inaccuracies. It was more just the fact that it was totally unrealistic and over the top (not as bad as 300 though), reminding me of when I used to think DBZ was a good show in middle school. I guess I might give it another shot and go up to episode five sometime if everyone is saying the first few episodes really are bad and don't represent the series as a whole, and that a good plot actually starts developing by then with interesting character development. | ||

There hasn't been a realistic portrayal of Rome in film or TV EVER. Even Gladiator was completely unrealistic and totally innaccurate when you got down into it. Using that as a reason to write off the show is completely dumb to me. | ||

When I watched the first episode I enjoyed it, but didn't think it looked good enough to be worth my time. A year later I felt like watching some mindless entertainment and decided to give the season a shot and ended up loving it... I wouldn't say its one of my favorites but once the story gets going it is pretty good. The arena fights are the worst part of the show really | ||

Ive only seen the prequel though not season one, i thought it was awesome i watched all 6 episodes back to back. I dont get that channel. I loved the prequel/how it should crixus and gannicus(my fav!) and what everyone was like beforehand/how it led up to that day. Still, Andy is a boss and always will be. At college now, but will look forward to DLing this | ||

Even Gladiator was completely unrealistic and totally innaccurate when you got down into it. Using that as a reason to write off the show is completely dumb to me. I don't think you understood what I was getting at, and for the record I'm well aware that no portrayal of Ancient Rome is ever going to be perfectly accurate, however you're wrong to say completely unrealistic. There's a difference between historically accurate and realistic. I can agree with the historical accuracy being an unfair reason to write-off a show, but a show being unrealistic is perfectly fair game for criticizing it. Rome, and even Gladiator are for the most part perfectly realistic shows, whereas 300 is completely unrealistic with one-dimensional and unbelievable characters. Make fun of criticizing the historical inaccuracies of 300 as being nitpicky all you want, that's not what makes it a terrible movie (as a whole), it just contributed to the already unrealistic plot and characters with over-the-top slow motion violence and akwardly-long sex scenes. | ||
