Spartacus was an education in not judging a book by its cover. Or a TV series by its seemingly overdone 300 slomos, gratuitous tits and violence, and the frequency of people using "absent" as a preposition. (*shudder*)
As a very smart man recently said, also on the Twitters, "Other TV series use tits and violence to distract from how stupid they are. Spartacus uses tits and violence to distract from how smart it is."
A friend from work recommended the series to me. I watched the first episode and rolled my eyes. "Really, Matt? Really? Back when I had no pubic hair I might have loved this, but I am an adult now! I LIKE ADULTY THINGS!"
He then threatened to punch me repeatedly if I didn't watch the rest of Spartacus. He's a 6 foot fuck-me-he's-tall Ginger Giant from Northern England who grew up in Stoke-on-Trent, the world capital of being stabbed repeatedly for no reason at all. So I watched the rest of Season 1.
I am in love with this series.
