If anyone has seen the first season of the Starz original show Sparticus, you know exactly what I mean when I call it a guilty pleasure. It is by no means, a revolutionary, critically acclaimed drama, but the series about enslaved gladiators during the Roman Times is soo entertaining I can barely stand it! I recommend that anyone who hasn't seen an episode do so, and judge for yourself. You are forewarned, though, the show is VERY racy, violent, and expletive heavy. But that's what makes it so good!
The series is currently on hiatus will star Andy Whitfield recovers from chemotherapy treatments after being diagnosed with cancer. They are actually filming a prequel while he recovers, which focuses on the early beginnings of the characters Batiatus (John Hannah) and Lucretia (played by the beloved Lucy Lawless. The second season should premiere sometime in the fall of 2011 (according to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello.)
Can't wait!!
