It’s difficult to say now how Spartacus will be remembered, but the members of its vocal fanbase are sure to keep recommending the show to anyone and everyone who’ll listen and it wouldn’t be surprising to see that legion of fans become something much larger as the series is exposed to a wider audience through DVDs.
There are so many moments of glorious awesomeness in Spartacus: War of the Damned that choosing just five hardly gets close to mentioning everything of note that takes place in the season (out this week on DVD and Blu-ray).
Sky has released the first trailer for the new series of Mad Dogs.
What makes Spartacus so much more complex than many expect it to be is that when it presents us with an idea, it is never content to move on from it without exploring it in depth.
Sky1 has announced that Battlestar Galactica star Jamie Bamber will head the cast of new firefighting drama series The Smoke.
Spartacus doesn’t do filler episodes. Yes, ‘The Dead and the Dying’ may be the penultimate instalment of the show but that hardly means it’s an uneventful one.
This is an episode that is all about consequences, catharsis and remembering the dead. It’s a tribute to Crixus that develops into a tribute to all who have fallen in the war against Rome, masterfully executing numerous resonant moments while doing significant work building for what is sure to be an epic series finale.
While the bodies have been steadily piling up over the course of this season (particularly in last week’s episode), ‘Separate Paths’ is the first episode that really hammers home just how damned the central characters of Spartacus are.
Once again, this show burns through plot faster than expected and opens up even more unpredictability to come.
Sky has announced the commission of Yonderland, a new comedy series from the BAFTA-winning team behind Horrible Histories.
Sky has announced that Moone Boy will return to Sky1 for a second and third series.
