Spartacus to Watch and See

I'm always on the lookout for good TV/mini series. The last quarter of 2009 was spent watching True Blood, The Tudors, Glee, Dirt, Lipstick Jungle, The Big Bang Theory and Californication. It's bad enough that I'm expected to work when more than half of the country is asleep but it would be unforgivable if I don't make the effort to be kept abreast of the newer things on TV. Can you imagine everyone knowing about Penny and Leonard and all you can do while they talk about it is act bored? Eek.

I stumbled upon an interview of Lucy Lawless and found out about a new Starz series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Immediately, I went looking for trailer and I must say, I wouldn't expect such an extravagance in a series. It reminded me a bit of the movie 300. I guess, Xena the Warrior Princess, didn't fall too far from the original tree.
