If Guiness World records wasn't strictly PG-13 Spartacus surely would have earned a spot on cock alone.

Oenomaus' story is one of the most tragic in this show. He's this honorable nice guy who happens to get hosed over by everyone around him.

It was also pretty much the only time Crixus wasn't bellowing at something. Manu Bennett is a gifted Bellower.

I guess the S2 thread then? Whatever season Vengeance was. I think Netflix considers Gods of the Arena to be S2 rather than S0 so that throws things off. I caught that and Blood and Sand when they originally aired and am just finishing the series off now.

Just wrapped up Libertus, and it did not disappoint. I was a bit sad to see Rhaskos go down without much fanfare, but he had redshirt plastered on him from day one. I think some part of my mind blurred him and Fugitivus into the same actor, so I was always kind of rooting for the guy who made a huge comeback after losing his face.

From what i gathered from bits and pieces on twitter, it was never an actual thing. He was actively trying to get them onboard with Incursion, probably had other irons in the fire too.

I've been trying to pitch this show to my friends, but the best I've got is "A smart show that looks so much like a dumb show that you'll be pleasantly surprised when you find out which it is."

But yeah, it's impressive how coherent, tight, complex and thematically consistent it is while also jamming in dozens of tits, dicks and fight scenes. Again, I still can't believe that after thirty something episodes, they were still finding new ways to kill people.

Just tell them it's a loving amazing show AND it has plenty of T&A and awesome fighting and everything else that's cool.

Only way I've ever had success getting people to watch it is to sell the poo poo out of the "this started off as one of the worst shows I've ever seen and then turned into one of the best" angle.

But I also had a friend who never got past the second episode because of how bad it was and now they will never, ever let me recommend them anything again.

It's definitely tough to recommend anything that doesn't hook immediately these days, no one has the patience to sit through iffy first seasons or an iffy first handful of episodes to get to the meat of a show anymore.

As long as one of the Jaegers has a (Jaeger-sized) horse cock that they fling around as a weapon.

Having recently finished the series again, for seriously like the 5th time, is there anything else remotely like it? I attempted to get into Black Sails but failed due mostly to my constantly comparing it to Spartacus. The best part of this show was easily the dialog, but that and the fights, tits, characterization, and moral complexity combined into the most loving awesome thing...I'm willing to settle for 3 out of 5, if such a thing exists that I haven't already seen. Make recommendation and find it well received, to harden flaccid spirit as virgin cock in a brothel.

Black Sails and Spartacus' similarities start and end with them being on the same network really.

I'd echo what everyone else recommended in the past: Banshee and Strike Back, they're extremely violent, vulgar, sex filled, and have a great story to tell.
Otherwise, I don't know, Spartacus is in a league of its own really.

You could give Vikings and The Last Kingdom a shot, they're not as over the top as Spartacus but they're good period TV!
