I absolutely love this show. I haven't been posting for it
because there is just too much going on. I guess it is kinda of
a soap opera, but a very adult version.
While theoretically it's in it's 2nd season, they made a mini
season of sorts with a prequel because of Andy Whitfield's
passing.
I'm posting today because watching 'Libertus' has been by far
the best and most ambitious yet. The fight scenes are truly
amazing. They also pulled off destroying a whole arena. The
visuals are just amazing and as I've said, the soap opera story
telling just kicked in with some major fu ck overs. A blast to
watch.
I can't recommend this show enough.

I still need to check out Season 1, which I intend to do. Duh.
Is there any TV show that I don't watch? Can't think of any at
the moment.

[glow=red,2,300]'Spartacus' to end run on Starz after third
season[/glow]
[quote]The swords-and-sandals "Spartacus" epic will end its run
on Starz after its third season, showrunner Steven S. DeKnight
has confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
"Spartacus" was the network's first original scripted drama
developed in-house, and brought in big ratings -- THR notes that
its most recent season averaged more than 6 million viewers each
week, and the series airs in 150 countries around the world.
"Spartacus" even did better in its second season, despite the
loss of original lead actor Andy Whitfield to cancer. He was
replaced by Liam McIntyre.
"It's a bit unheard of to end a show when it's doing better than
ever," DeKnight admitted. "How long do you run a show? Do you
run it until you can squeeze every last bit of revenue out of
it, or do you end it on a high note? That was part of the
decision to wrap up the show."
The third and final season, "Spartacus: War of the Damned," will
start airing the first of its final 10 episodes in January
2013.[/quote]

So, I just put my name in for holds on the series. I checked to
see what was available and as of now, there is no Season 3 on
DVD yet. I have the first two seasons on hold as well as the
mini series. My question is, do I watch the prequel mini-series
first? Does it 'play' better if I watch it as it was originally
released (after Season 1) or should I watch it first because
it's a prequel is what I'm getting at.

I don't think it matters to terribly much. They did a phenomenal
job of package presentation. Each Series is good on it's own.
Watching the prequel after the first season just kind of gives
you some insight to the why, when and what for in the series
opener.
