Spartacus: Blood and Sand is a movie inspired by countless other shows and movies and yet still by it's conclusion you'll be wanting to find out what happens next. From the get go you're thrown into a blood curdling, sexually driven TV show that's slow motion, cut throat action look as though they've just come from the movie 300. No matter how many times you see these same effects you can't help but stop and stare in amazement as every blood splatter and decapitated head just looks amazing and before long you find yourself totally and completely immersed in the show. You start the show following Spartacus (no it's not Kirk Douglas) who is a ...  Read the complete review

Spartacus: Blood and Sand is no children's programme. There are blood, guts and breasts in every episode and although normally this would only appeal to a certain strange kind of character the programme is actually really good. I will admit that I am a sucker for fictitious history dramas and Spartacus: Blood and Sand certainly did not disappoint. From the outset Spartacus is pushed into your hero corner and you immediately take an instant dislike to anyone who crosses him. Spartacus is not of an overly big build which I personally believe makes him a more believable character and it is good that he isn't portrayed as the best gladiator right from the ...  Read the complete review

Spartacus is a television series shown on Bravo Television. Heralded by some of the more reactionary tabloids as a breakdown of morality it is a story of a warrior who when double crossed in battle is enslaved by the Romans and forced to fight as a Gladiator (Named Spartacus by his new owner), for his survival.

Spartacus blood and sand was something I stumbled across whilst flicking through the "deadwood" sky channels one tuesday evening..and I'm glad I did! What I saw was a no holds barred interpretation of roman times with some sizzling women and plenty of gladiators thrown in! The intro is basic - the romans want the threcians to fight alongside them but spartacus wont have it - and the romans take away his wife and he is captured and taken in by batiatus..the storyline starts to develop and it moves along quite nicely and shows what life is like inside "the house of batiatus" in a rags to riches styly. Spartacus (or the "threcian" as ...  Read the complete review

I got to watch Spartacus Blood and Sand while I was living in the U.S. and safe to say it's a shocker! Never have I seen a programme where there's so much graphic violence and sex. This is definitely not for under eighteens and something you may want to consider watching by yourself if you're uncomfortable watching this type of programme with others. Basically though, this show is about the rise of the Roman warrior Spartacus and how he went from a prisoner to a rebel. It's set in ancient Rome and has a Gladiator type feel to it as that's essentially what they're training to be. I think the plot line is interesting and would work well in other ...  Read the complete review
