Okay now I have watched the whole first season and it was phenomenal. The plots were much more clever than I thought at first and the violence and gore was beautifully made. Also Spartacus himself was sympathetic, I really really like him. And Master Batiatus and Varro and Doctore and Ashur and Pietros and all the female characters, all brilliant. The only guy I didnt like was Crixus but I loved him in the end.

Damn how I like this series.

If you got as far as watching Gods of the Arena, I think you'll appreciate Crixus a little more.

Ahh, happy to hear that! I will start Gods of the Arena later tonight.

FWIW, Gods of the Arena and Vengeance really develop Crixus into a good character.

Episode 3 just aired last night - absolutely brilliant. Best of the season by a country mile. Not the best episode of all time (I think season finalies of both Blood & Sand and Gods of the Arena are the best), but certainly incredible for the 3rd episode of a season.

Despite being 6 episodes, Gods of the Arena is more brilliant than just about anything. By the end, you'll be asking yourself how they put so much into half a seasons' worth of TV.
