Spartacus: Series 1-3 Reaction Post
I don't think I've ever tried making one reaction post for an entire TV-series, but this is something I need to get out of my system. I wasn't even going to watch it, for heaven's sake!

Spartacus himself is as nice as a gladiator can be, especially compared to 90 % of the others. True, likeable characters are a problem here, but at least they're interesting. The problem is: you have to somehow muddle through series 1 to get to Nagron and to more interesting plot points (well, imho; I'm just not a big fan of gladiators, I haven't seen the Russell Crowe movie f.ex.; and s1 mostly consists of gladiator fights and training and the DRAMA caused by it).
