Spartacus, determined to bring down the Roman Republic, now leads a rebellion swelled by thousands of freed slaves. Roman leader Gaius Claudius Glaber has died, and former rivals Naevia, Crixus, Gannicus and Agron become rebel generals, joining Spartacus in the war against the empire. The Roman Senate turns to a ruthless politician and soldier, Marcus Crassus, to put down the slaves. Crassus takes on a young rising star - Julius Caesar - as an ally.

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.
