I watched the first ep and was really disgusted with this series!!!
The acting was like yek, special effects like an extreme low-budget movie, bad 300- and/or Rome-clone ...
It was really awfull ... Xena-Warrior-slut was prolly even better (although I didn't watch that either).
Yes, yes, yes ... I read that it gets better in the 5 other pages of this post, but I doubt I will be able to keep watching for 5 or 6 eps untill it gets 'better'.
It's suppose to be a six-part prequel focusing on the "House of Batiatus" and the Ludus before Spartacus arrived with John Hannah ( Batiatus), Lucy Lawless(Lucretia) being the stars. Other returning actors include Peter Mensah (Doctore), Manu Bennett (Crixus), Antonio Te Maioha (Barca), Nick E. Tarabay (Ashur), Lesley-Ann Brandt (Naevia) ." New characters –most notably the gladiator who was champion of the House of Batiatus before Spartacus or even Crixus – who will help fill in the story about the people and politics in the House of Batiatus and ancient Capua as a whole".Quote:

Obviously this teaser was just pasted together from existing footage but at least it gives you some sense of the thing and who is going to be predominately featured.

From what I understand, the prequel will be airing in January and is well under way in production. The "second" series remains postponed, as it has been for some months now.
It is not a bad show, but I really hated all those silly blood effects, it relaly took away from the show itself IMO. It took a while for me to get into it by the 4th episode I was hooked.
I know it is different shows but I still loved Rome on Hbo 10x better then Spartacus.
Totally disagree. I thought the ridiculous blood effects and slow motion all tied very neatly into the general crudeness of the show...I think we all know what I mean by that.
Biography?
OMGWTFROFLMOAF!!!

He said biography not documentary.
I saw the full season. A waste of time....full of total nudity.
I'm sorry but it's either a waste of time or full of nudity ,I don't really think that it can be both.Quote:

Anyway, my boxset came yesterday. So far I've only watched Disc 1. I can feel the pace picking up after the 3rd episode. Acting still hasn't improved. We'll see what happens as the episodes progress.
Erin Cummings ... :blink:
