Spartacus - I… lack interest in seeing the tv show, and so could not offer any further opinion.

I watched it bc I wanted something kinda relevant in the background while I played Total War Rome. If you're in the mood for the sex/nudity of Game of Thrones mixed with the action sequences of 300, it's your thing. Dunno about accuracy, tho it didn't seem too bad to my uneducated eye. fwiw I never finished the last half-season bc it wasn't that compelling towards the end, tho the story was pretty good in the middle of the run.
