I would like to visit the alternate universe where he is alive and was able to see the series til the end

I need to rewatch Spartacus



Jupiters cock

I find it hard to believe any kind of show similar to Spartacus will be better than it. Only one close is Rome.

Spartacus is amazing. Been meaning to rewatch it again, but keep getting flooded with other shows/movies. I even started the first 5-6 eps but stopped.

What I loved about Spartacus there is never one boring episode. Every episode had action, anyone could get it

Kill them all season 1 is crazy

damn the french WORKED these muthafukkas

this show is not as predictable as I anticipated

S3 has been a pleasant surprise

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

I fukks with both the OGs hard (not that Netflix Vikings trash) and its not even close IMO...

Spartacus >>>>>>>>>>>> Vikings

Even with the unfortunate death of Andy Whitfield the show was still 5 star quality, that final season was almost as good as the first which was legendary...

Plus the official thread on the film room was one of the GOATs...

I liked Vikings but I found Spartacus to be much more entertaining.
Vikings had some parts that were a struggle which Spartacus even in filler episodes were just hilarious.

I really wanted to say Vikings was better than Spartacus..........but man those last 2 seasons of Vikings are so horrible, I gotta give it to Spartacus. Them first 4.5ish seasons of Vikings are top tier though.

Hell naaaaah Spartacus one of the Goat series.

Vikings was iiiiiight until they got Ragnar out the paint. He was carrying that whole show. Spartacus lost their main actor and didn't miss a beat, shiiiiiet you could say it probably got even better.

ya S4 you can start to feel the show beginning to crack/fall apart…they shouldn’t have made it 20 eps…I’m up to 13 now but there were a lot of useless/drawn out scenes…ragnar’s sons aside from bjorn seem just fukking weird…idk the progression to the characters they are now didn’t feel natural…maybe the characters will grow on me…we kind of saw bjorn’s upbringing and even tho his character received a major time jump, we still witnessed the trials and tribulations he went thru in adulthood to become the character we see in S4…I like rollo’s progression this season too

I know what’s gonna happen to ragnar by the end of the season as I couldn’t help but look at some spoilers online…I think I’ll probably bail after this season tho…S5 goes back to just 10 eps but S6 is another drawn out 20 ep season smh…outside of ragnar and rollo, I’m not too invested in these characters to want to watch 30 more eps of this…this is what happens when a story is too dependent on one character…the show can’t risk killing off the character after a while

as you said, they lost the actor but not the character…so it’s not really the same…if spartacus continued the show for 2 seasons after the character’s death it’s possible it would’ve become uninteresting…instead of vikings, they should’ve just called the show “ragnar” so it would’ve been easier to bail on the series after season 4 lol
