This series has been running on the Starz channel this year, if you are a subscriber and have not bothered to watch, you have flat missed out on a great show. I'm not a subscriber, I just happened to hear about it and so far i've have watched the 1st-4th episodes and i'm of the opinion that it kicks some serious "300" ass! If you liked the movie "300", then you will love this even more. The shows are rated MA because of the nudity, sex, blood slinging and various other gory scenes with beheadings, body part dismemberments, etc ... There are some scenes that even made me go "Daaaaaamn!"

Also .... As I was getting ready to post this I happened to run across some very bad news about Andy Whitfield who plays the leading role of Spartacus, he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma today. I hope he recovers, that is terrible news.

I'd give you all a little gift, but then i'd have to ban myself.
