User Comment: nikolobg from Canada, 13 February 2010 • This is not a series for everyone and many people will find a lot in it offensive. They will have good cause. If you are under 16 you should not watch it. 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.

It is brutal and it is one of the best shows out there. 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.

This show makes your hart race. 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 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.

For a low budget with computer graphics, after the first weaker episode, the show becomes so realistic, by episode 4 it has griped me in its razor sharp clutches and the downward spiral of darkness is leaving bloody marks on my soul!

If you like it you will love it, if you don't like it you will hate it.

Summary: So bloody good !!!

[CSW] -4- It grew from a -2- for the first four chapters to a -3- for the next four chapters and then to a -4- for the last five chapters, and I absolutely loved the very last chapter. So don't dismiss this series too early. See it through and like the user comment above "If you like it you will love it, if you don't like it you will hate it." But you have to see it to know.
