Spartacus

[✈ Elle ☀]

Bart and I are completely hooked on this American series. It is loosely based on the Kirk Douglas movie... but with bucketloads of sex and violence.

If you are easily offended... then this series is definitely not for you. I didn't really enjoy the first episode, as I thought it was a cheap imitation of "300", laced with glorified porn.

But... ... ... it just keeps getting better and better!

Lucy Lawless is fab as a sultry Lucretia. John Hannah plays a complete bast*rd REALLY well. Lots of rippling muscles and obligatory gladiatorial scenes.

Love it! We think it's our favourite show that's on right now.

LOL Ali! He finally said it in last week's episode. Looking forward to watching it tonight!

You were right about episode one, Elle.  My god, those swords were sharp I think her acting skills were not the attributes that got the girl playing his missus her part  The only offputting thing was being surprised that most Greeks seem to have Australian accents!
