Spartacus: Blood and Sand
April 24th, 2010
Spartacus: Blood and Sand – simply has to have been the best thing on TV for an age…! The first series has had everything – made much in a similar style to 300 - there’s violence, plenty of it, loads of sex, intrigue, emotion and a fantastic series of Machiavellian twists and turns in the plot.
And, of course lets not forget the eye candy – plenty for both guys and girls – and some gay friends (as you’ll understand when you see it if you haven’t already), are rather taken with it too. Lawless (formerly Xena and D’Anna in Battlestar Galactica) is as horny as ever. John Hannah as the devious Batiatus for me has hit the peak of his career – his portrayal of the character is the best I’ve ever seen him. I’m sure there’s some out there who would hate it – if they do, they are fools and don’t know what they are missing. It’s a work of television genius!
Now for the sad part: We’ve looked forward to this show all week throughout it’s run ans imply can’t wait for the second series which has now been unfortunately postponed as the actor who plays Spartacus – Andy Whitfield – has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Get well soon Andy, we need you, and Spartacus back on our screens!
If you’ve not seen the series you can pre-order the series from Amazon. Spartacus: Blood and Sand
