Exactly.


OP are you Canadian? :jbhmm: Canadian brehs seem to love that show for some reason.

Tried to watch it, but it is like soft porn to me.:ld:
Nah. From the south. I've never watched The Wire so I can't speak on it:francis:

That first season is something else. I don't think I've ever seen a series make such a turn around so quickly.

Went from :mjlol: to :ehh: and then :banderas:.

Gods of the Arena was also great.

I think the show clearly suffered in the later seasons from the cast change and the inevitable move away from the ludus. Crassus was an OG tho. Trained to kill Spartacus himself. :wow:

I liked both but I still don't understand why we still compare GOT to Spartacus? i mean GOT is on The Wire, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad level and Spartacus ain't even on these level. Spartacus is on Banshee level. Let's be honest...there's a reason why people keep talking about GOT unlike Spartacus.

The story of Game of Thrones is much more intriguing and interesting than the story of Spartacus. Spartacus is packed with slow-motion action scenes like we see in most action movies epespecially "300". Both shows contains violence but Game of Thrones has violence when it fits the story. Spartacus just throws in violence like some sort of constant blood porn, even if it is fun to watch.
IMO, Spartacus is recommendable for people, who aren't interested in turning their brain on(like most of Bollywood movies).

A show based on real life events is a "weak plot"

Being a slave and escaping and training and starting a enemy is a weak plot

The coli


Really? It was entertaining but the acting was terrible and the graphics were cheesy. The plot was also pretty weak. Game of Thrones is superior on every level unless sex and violence are your number one priority in picking a show.
