Soooo, we just got done Netflixing Starz's "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" season one. This of course was the boyfriend's choice. I have never seen so much unabashed full frontal nudity (for males and females). There were definitely moments I felt like we were watching soft-core porn. There was also a lot of graphic violence (being as how the show is focused around gladiators). The blood effects were overdone, like something out of a graphic novel movie, reminiscent of Sin City or 300. I was excited to see that one of the female leads was played by Lucy Lawless (I use to love Xena: Warrior Princess). However, now that I've seen her totally nude (although I'll give her credit for aging well), Xena will never be the same... Overall, very strange show. It was renewed for a second season, although the actor playing Spartacus is being replaced due to illness.
