It is raw bloody entertainment! This show is so unique, it is in a category with THE WIRE, thought they have noting in common and their uniqueness lies in completely different places, they are bot light years away of what is being made. The first episode is the weakest, but by episode 4 which i just saw i am swearing by all the Roman Gods that this is what i was born to watch. It is not a soup opera and if you are one of those people that got excited by a show like CAPRICA skip this one. It is brutal and it is one of the best shows out there. Why am i so excited by it then: For the ones that want to see fights, blood, brutality, sex, men looking like gods, blood, erotica, excitement, blood, swearing, allot of skulls being bashed, sweat, savagery, arena fights, honor, friendships intrigues, assassinations, and lets not forget some more blood, this is a show for you. If you are under 16 you should not watch it. This is not a series for everyone and many people will find a lot in it offensive.
