I'm a big fan of Roman era movies so the subject matter is not the problem. This is an appallingly bad series. I bought the entire series but have never made it past the 2nd disc. They apparently thought that gratuitous nudity (nonstop **** and ****) and blood gushing gore would make up for the single note plot, boringly obvious storyline, atrocious acting and scriptwriting which was seemingly targeting 12 yr Olds with low IQ. Endless hours of exactly the same thing. I'm a warrior slave, your a Roman, I hate you so we'll stab each other, after which I'll go to the orgy, get drunk, wake up tomorrow and repeat, and repeat, and repeat. Over and Neverending. The practically non existent character development is so bad you don't care what happens to anyone because they're just wooden overbaked caricatures of people, rather than actual people. If mindless, nonstop nudity, sex, and extreme violence is your thing, this is your movie. If your hoping for anything resembling historical Rome, and the lives of the people who lived there, your out of luck.
