Spartacus changed my life in better. Even after the dead of the first actor who played Spartacus, i continued watching and i loved it. It's about force, power, humble, the sense of life, Love and much more. If you need strength or if you are depressed, you must watch Spartacus. Have patience and watch till end. You won't regret it!

If you like tits, cocks, sex, rape and violence then this show is for you.There is so much wrong with this series you could write a book about it but it never fails to entertain.This series has some of best baddies I've ever seen portrayed. I loved it. But I wouldn't let the kids watch it. Recommend they wait until they're 18

The Good= Spartacus delivers! When I saw the first episode, I was hooked. Yes, it had the cheesy 300 CGI, but it had the awesome messenger of the Persians and plenty of action! Spartacus is full of blood, gore, sex, and profanity. This is NOT a show for your kids. However, it isn't supposed to be! There are plenty of other themes and conflicts going on with the plots and subplots to give this show credibility, besides the violence/sex. Many people complain about that--"the show is just boobs and blood". Well, it has plenty of those, and maybe a bit too much, but the actors and script are amazing for such a show. Each episode is better than many actual movies in theaters. I can forgive the CGI blood, the overused naked people, gay love affairs, etc. when the script and historical setting are this well-written and interesting. Overall, a fantastic and bold show that I have longed to see on TV since I was a kid.The Bad= Some of the dialogue is funny, and borders on absurdity, with all the F-bombs and 4 letter words. However, I assume the writers are trying to make it realistic to today's viewers who hear the same banter in daily life, and we are to assume that this is just a rendition of whatever crude profanity and insults they might have used. The CGI is cheesy, I admit, but probably works easier with their budget and production. I can deal with it, as much of it is done for effect or even to change to the next scene, after a deadly gladiator match. To me, the pros far outweigh the cons for this show, as long as you can deal with adult subjects and nudity/violence.The Ugly= So sad that Andy Whitfield died, and had to be replaced, as well as Naevia. The creators did a GREAT job, however, of throwing out a short prequel season that ended up being as good or arguably better than the regular seasons. Gannicus was introduced as the total bad- ass that he was, and we got to see the beginnings of the devious Batiatus and the deadly Oenameus.

I rate this series 5 though I have only watched the first season, which is such a wild triumph I cannot help but rate the whole thing as outstanding in every way. The drama in that first season is visceral, heart-wrenching, romantic, humorous and so wildly entertaining I believe it shall endure for many years to come. The stories of these gladiators and this ludus are stories of passionate love, unbridled determination, tear-jerking romance, personal transcendence, metaphysical visions, hubristic arrogance, Mercutian camaraderie and choreographic physical feats. And all this is delivered flawlessly; visually orgasmic, a dramaturgical tour-de-force and with writing that makes one reminisce of Shakespeare. What more can I say.
