Its a complete joke he's even in it though IMO. The fact the whole show nicks so much from the 300 style and they take MADNESS!? from it aswell. He does fit the role nicely though, I just can't help but scream THIS IS SPARTA! every time he's on screen.

this is the alternate reality anyone who falls down the well ends up in!

And what exactly is wrong with that?
The TV and the film industry plagiarise themselves all the time if something is successful and it's gone on for at least 5 decades.
Just read that Andy Whitfield has been given a clean bill of health and is in training for series two.

This is why I watched it. Some of the most horrendous acting I've ever seen, and the writing is even worse...but it's entertaining

Just how bad is this show? It hurts my head to think about it.
The prequel series isn't until Jan 2011 so god knows how long it will be until the second season proper
.I loved it.
Was unsure at first and it was WAY too stylised, but they toned it down and I was on the edge of my seat watching it, sticking my tongue out and yelling YEEEEAH at the bad-ass fighting scenes.
Sit down, put it on and just WATCH IT! Less nit picking about accents, whether the acting is award worthy. People read too much and listen to too much opinion and write things off so very easily these days. If I trusted IMDB reviews and forum posts I would not of watched half of what I have done, a large amount of which has been thoroughly epic.
Stick with it, it develops nicely.

And there's the thing. There may be lots of boobies and "down there's" but there are just as many boobies and winkies of the blokes... Equal opportunity nudity.
I was the same. When Batiatus' plan finally starts to come together I was proper whooping and even managed a hip hop sample "YEEEEEEEEE BOOOOIIIII!!"

Just finished watching the first season last night. Brilliant ending and a great season. Love the fight scenes and special effects. I really like the characters too. Really glad to hear Andy is well to start doing season 2, can't wait to see what happens.
Woah at the last 2 episodes of this season! 
Really enjoyed the whole thing, first few episodes werent so good but essential to the story.
I really want to see what happens next, my thirst for justice has not been fully satisfied as one woman in particular seemed to escape!

Just finished this season, after watching the last 8 episodes back to back in a Sparticus marathon - I dont think any show other than The Wire has ever gripped me so much, absolutely fantastic.
The thing I like about the show is that it doesnt pull any punches, its brutal, it knows its brutal, and it doesnt shy away from some pretty disturbing acts within the storyline.

I watched all 13 back to back because I couldn't wait for the next one.
