Spartacus:blood and sand is a tv series remake of the old movie with the same name. Its a rather new series, just 4 episodes old, saw it last January when the first 2 episodes was leaked on the internet and i might say, this is one hell of a good series. It was picked up for season 2 even before the first episode was premiere indicating that the brass upstairs really liked it. The series uses the same techniques as those found on 300 and sin city and somehow they were able to pull it off. As a warning, this series shows a lot of nudity and sex, i mean a lot, you might be surprise that a tv show is allowed to show that much and in a way that it's almost R rated. I guess the producers really wanted to stick to the real Roman culture which was about sex and power.

Like gladiator, Spartacus is an Thracian who mutinied against his Roman general and this lead to him being thrown to the Colosseum to die, but he fought his way to survive and eventually he won the crowd over and as a result, he was bought by a rich person to be train as a Gladiator. Spartacus main goal was to earn his freedom and find his wife( who the Roman enslaved and sold to the highest bidder). The fighting and the storyline of this series is his strong point and i think the only bad thing about it is that the audience have to wait another week just to see the next episode and also the scene of a gladiator named Barca 'the beast of Carthaginian' sexing it up with a young boy and truly proving he is 'the beast of Carthaginian' . haha one weird scene i might add

Here's the season1 trailer of Spartacus: Blood and Sand


That's all for now

Peace Out!!
