Spartacus: The Complete Series - BLU-RAY [Standard] [13 Discs]

Only disappointment is the cover picture shows that it comes with digital codes and it does not contain digital codes. The set I picked up in the store is not the same cover picture as the one shown on the website.

Action packed all the way. Lucy lawless xena warrior princess is in this series also along with many other familiar faces.

This series' 4 seasons originally aired on Starz and was produced by Sam Rami, Robert Tapert and some others. The first season featured Andy Whitfield as the title character. Andy did a great job with the role. Andy got sick and they halted production on a second season so he could get treated. They produced a prequel season while Andy was being treated. Unfortunately Andy didn't get better... They recast the roll and Liam McIntyre took over the title roll for the final two seasons. Liam also did a great job with the role. The show is about gladiators rebelling against the Roman Empire... It should be no surprise is violent. What makes the show great is the characters. You care what happens to them. You cheer when they win and you feel it when they don't...

Hands down the best violent graphic novel meets T&A overload ever produced. If you are into the genre, this is pure entertainment delivered along a well thought out storyline. Everything is well done, The fight choreography is top notch, the visuals of the locations perfect, and the "talent" of both sexes, impeccable. There's no deep meaning of life stuff here, yawn, just fantastic, action oriented entertainment that does not get you bogged down in another lame PC storyline. If this was ever on the snoozefest known as the Hallmark channel it would be edited to the point that after the credits you'd see a blank screen, perfect!

This is a great action adventure drama similar to HBO's Rome -- only it has copious amounts of nudity, sex and over-the-top violence. With all this it's easy to overlook the great script and (for the most part) acting. Good purchase if one isn't uncomfortable with the extreme amounts of the aforementioned violence and nudity.
