SPARTACUS

I do not have STARZ, the cable channel, but thanks to the Internet, I have still been able to watch STARZ's first original series based on the legends of the Roman Empire: SPARTACUS BLOOD And SAND. It stars Andy Whitfield as Spartacus.

I am smitten with this series and highly recommend it. Plenty of action, gore and treachery. Plus the series is not bad on the eyes if you know what I mean. It even features Lucy Lawless of Xena Worrier Princess in a lead role. You can see episodes from the first season here: http://www.starz.com/originals/spartacus or here: http://watchspartacus.com/

The series also stars Peter Mensah and Manu Bennett.
I also just learned that the star of the series played by Andy Whitfield was just diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphona in the early stages. Production on the 2nd season has been postponed while the star Mr. Whitfield is undergoing treatment. I pray that he will get through this.
