Gaius Claudius Glaber and his Roman troops are sent to Capua to crush the growing band of freed slaves that Spartacus leads before it can inflict further damage. Spartacus is presented the choice of satisfying his personal need for vengeance against the man that condemned his wife to slavery and eventual death or making the larger sacrifices necessary to keep his budding army from breaking apart.

Community reviews for Spartacus, shown here with its season details.
Sorry Kirk Douglas, but what makes this TV show better than the movie is it has more glory, and plenty of violence and sex and nudity and language, and sex and violence, and so on. No pun intended, but bloody brilliant! Each series was pure epic, with each episode gritty, bloody and glorious. And great performance from the cast.
This TV show is a top notch is any area. Acting is outstanding, production is great and most importantly it's super interesting. When you start watching it, you don't want to stop, you just want to watch episode after episode. That's how addicting it is. Personally, I think this is masterpiece that easily deserves 10/10 rating! Definitely one of my favorite shows out there.
