First episode of Spartacus - Pixelblood and Sand Tits

Dear lord was that silly; and I doubt it had an original thought anywhere in its script. (Though Netflix seems to have the uncensored version, it isn't the extended blu ray version.)

[The Brain]

Spartacus is OK.

Aye, I liked Spartacus quite a bit. Once you get past the tits and blood (which are nice pluses) there's an actual compelling story in there.

[CountDeMoney]

Barf, it sucked.  It was violence porn.

[Liep]

Was any of those Borgia shows good?

[Admiral Yi]

Watched a bit of Stalingrad, the newish one.  A lot of slo mo bullet fu.  Meh.

Good enough for me. Though this could easily have been a Conan the Barbarian origin story with minor changes, and it has a strong video game look to it.

The one with Jeremy Irons was quite good.

Agreed.  It had a good story arc throughout.

Yeah, the whole "300" violence porn gets a bit silly and exploitative, but the whole Roman intrigue angle and the relationship between master and slaves is quite engaging, imho.

They change that up a lot as the story goes along.  The first few episodes are a terrible 300 ripoff, but then the show comes into it's own and really thrives.

I indeed would like to see more John Hannah.

Don't worry about that; he's central to the plot and one of the best characters in the show.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Funniest Netflix comedy yet, and BoJack Horseman wasn't not funny.

[Capetan Mihali]

Pity you didn't like Whiplash.

Honestly, what was there to like?  I apologize if you reviewed it already, I haven't skimmed back; but the few professional positive reviews I read were really pretty vague in what made this a good movie...
