NO ANY WORD ...

The best no words watch it

Wow, what a great show! First, fantastic acting all around. Andy (RIP) was sublime. The character of Spartacus could have just been any meathead, but he really brought subtlety and depth to the character. John Hanna was also epic as Batiatus, really clever and cunning. Lucy Lawless, still smoking hot, does a great job as his scheming wife. And the scene with Theokoles...easily movie quality. This is seriously one of the coolest fight scenes I've ever seen. The make-up, CGI, and actions sequences were perfect. My only one (tiny) criticism is that the "slaughter" in the finale felt a little mindless and over the top, and actually made me sympathize with the Romans. Part of the problem, though, was that most of the villains were so great that didn't want them to die! That's pretty much it though. S1 is one of the best shows to grace television.

Really enjoyed...then purchased gods of the arena...now on to season two...

I like this series a lot

Great show but when I purchased mine episode 8 and episode 12 has some crackles in one scene on those eps like a cd skips does anyone have this problem?

The Best Show, Writing, Fighting, Acting, Directors, Producers- Put in Modern Day Media- TV, Cable or Movie- To Date- PERIOD. Underlying Message is exactly what is Wrong with Society Today… Whether its a Bailout Corporation, a Government, or a Group of 'weak' people using others under false pretense- to control others… S shows what Sheer "Will", determination, and a plan can do to shock Right back into Wrong… And the Power a focused Few can Do to Change that skewed Dynamic… Andy Rocks! Cast is riveting- John (Batiautis) is special- hilarious. Lucy L. (Lucretia) & Viva B were the perfect cast. Manu (Crixus) You Rock too! A whole Series could've been done on he, alone… The supporting cast, the 2 - 7 episode guys that would get killed off- were super, and kept 'adding' to the show- Not weakening. It was ingenious to add Spartacus' wife, Sura to pull at the hearts of all,,, and she was worth fighting for… The blood is supposed to be over the top- excessive as it adds to the unique flair of this intense, sexy, dirt and sand adventure. It was a time of harsh realities, twisted treatment, and base acuity toward fighting, violence, control, & entertainment wrapped into a whole… and used to keep control pf society, and advance political agendas of those at the top of Roman society. They (Roman elite) made their bed… and S made sure they slept in it…! ahhhhh Justice. The show is powerful. 95% will love it. 5% will Not be able to get over the gut-wrenching violence. See This= Best Show top to bottom, period… M Atlanta

As an ancient history teacher, I can tell you this is a great show on many levels! The cast and crew are amazing and my heartfelt appreciation to Andy Whitfield who truly captured the idea of Spartacus among all other things! God bless you!

The acting was so believable and the battles are so intens
