I bought this dvd after hearing good reports from people who'd watched it on SKY. Being a big fan of ‘sword and sandel’ epics I have to admit that even I wasn't prepared for the graphic nature of this series. The violence, nudity and swearing is right in your face and leaves little to the imagination. That said, it was the story that quickly drew me in with plenty of intrigue, power plays and underhand wheeling and dealing. The acting from the relatively unknow cast was excellent and the fight scenes were both visceral and captivating. Love or hate Spartacus Blood and Sand I guarantee you'll still be thinking about it long after you've finished watching!

great show, not for children but its great, by the way why is this and gods of the arena listed as fantasy- its based on historical fact, i know they prob made stuff up but its still mostly a true story…

Full of action, blood, violence and kiwi actors. I love the story the acting and everything about it. I can watch this 1000 times its so good. Buy it and watch!!!
