Add a CommentSeason "Two" of the series begins almost immediately after the massacre at Batiatus' Ludus. The slave survivors need to recruit more numbers if they are to survive, while Glaber and his wife Ilythia are charged with brings Spartacus and his rebels down. Lucretia, violently stabbed at the end of season 1, somehow managed to survive, and spends most of the season manipulating others towards her own mysterious ends. Not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy lot's of sex and extremely bloody and violent scenes, this series doesn't disappoint. My main quibble is the dialogue the actors are forced to speak. It is very affected and "proper", but since this isn't Shakespeare, no need to pretend it is.
The legend of a slave turned gladiator and leader of freed slaves fighting against the Roman empire continues in Spartacus, Vengeance the second season. Now free, the group of gladiators and freed slaves seek additional followers and weapons for their upcoming battles with the Romans. Throughout the second season there is intrigue, treachery, blood and guts as well as graphic sex.
I did find this season entertaining, but not as much so as the other two. The sex scenes seemed as graphic, if not more so. The violence and the gore seemed as graphic, if not more. The acting was pretty much on par with the other seasons. The plot was decent. Maybe all the excess is just getting redundant. The new Spartacus is terrible, too. He needs to hit the gym for one (hey the guy looks better than me, but I'm not portraying a Roman gladiator!) and he just isn't as charismatic as either the old Spartacus (R.I.P.) OR Gannicus. He also seems to be less skilled with the choreographed fight scenes. I will likely watch the final season when it comes out, but I am not expecting as much from it. All that being said, it is still a great violent, erotic waste of ones time.
