TV Review: ‘Spartacus: Gods of the Arena’ Delivers Bloody Goods

Blu-Ray Review: Guilty Pleasures of ‘Spartacus: Blood and Sand’
Submitted by BrianTT on September 30, 2010 - 3:07pmCHICAGO – “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” is a ridiculous program, a mix of pretentious dialogue that thinks its more important than it is, elaborate battle sequences shot in slo-mo to hide the show’s budget, and historical inaccuracies on an epic scale. And yet it’s also remarkably enjoyable. It’s a guilty pleasure program that has developed a rabid following on Starz and should put the network on the map when it comes to original series with the help of an excellent Blu-ray release for the first season.
