Spartacus: Blood and Sand - The Complete First Season [4 Discs] [Blu-ray]

Did not want to see this show when it came out. I thought it was going to be a bit dull. I caught the 3rd episode, and oh my god... I couldn't wait to see the next one. Had to go back and watch the other two to catch up. Spartacus is amazing. Andy Whitfield (R.I.P.) has such fierce. Manu, Viva, Katrina, Lucy and the rest of the actors including Andy are beautiful, and have so much fight in them. It's worth the watch. My boyfriend even got into it and he's a wicked skeptic. Awesome story, the blood and guts were great to see and the acting couldn't be better. Best series EVER!

If you want an entertaining show with some historical accuracy this is the show for you! Educated lines, great plot, Blood, guts, and glory. The action sequences are greatly done and some in the style of Frank Miller (Comic book freeze frame). Great costumes! And I love the insults. The downside (and not a big one) is there is a lot of nudity. Then again...those were the days. Beautiful women for the men and gorgeous men for the women...(hunk alert). NOT FOR THE KIDS!!!

I watched this non stop... it was a new experience for me, just could not stop watching it! Only advice, this should no be watched by kids!

One of Starz first hit series that is more than just television for mature audiences . The creators have taken special effects to an amazing level, but the story keeps you coming back for more. And if it is the former that peeks your interest, you certainly won't be disappointed! The packaging on this series is really cool and I would suggest buying each individual season over the complete series option. Quality is superb!

I caught a few episodes on the the History or SciFi channel of the 3rd season and got hooked. I picked up the 1st and 4th seaon on sale and just started watching the 1st season. Good story lines, good acting, there is some mature language, and the effects have a striking "300" feel to them. Overall I would certainly recommend the series and will go back for seasons 2 and 3.

Starz is set to bring gladiators to the small screen withSpartacus: Blood and Sand from executive producers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Joshua Donen. The high budget 13-episode first season premieres on January 22, 2010 with a second season already scheduled for 2011. The show will star Andy Whitfield as the infamous title character Spartacus.

This show has a stylized, graphic novel-inspired design similar to the movie "300". Fans of "300" will love this too. It gives an uncompromising, hard-edged look at the world of ancient Roman gladiators, without any worry about political correctness or modern sensibilities. Gladiator also is filled with action and compelling characters and is very entertaining.

This is the Blu-ray version of the complete first season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand containing 13 episodes with over 11 hours of play time. After watching all episodes, you can move on to other seasons of this series which include Gods of the Arena (prequel), Vengeance (season 2) and War of the Damned (season3).
