Daniel F. @wonderboyy.nemo Feb 12 Spartacus: Blood and Sand is beyond a great watch! Although it's historic fiction, and takes plenty of creative freedoms--the setting, the language, the explicit scenes, the violence, blood and gore all are combined to to create an amazing story, with great characters filled with their personal motivations that produced an authentic, ultra-realistic feeling of what ancient Rome was like. I can't imagine how anyone cannot enjoy this show. An Absolute Must Watch! See more David H. @dh72017917 Jan 20 The best series I’ve ever watched! See more Jordan H @RT61460302 Dec 21 Outstanding show and such an epic first season! Only to maybe be rivaled by the prequel gods of the arena! Paved the way for the rest of the seasons, Andy did a phenomenal job as spartacus! This had many relatable characters in the show and lots of good action and storytelling throughout!
