When they added it back a few weeks ago, I started watching it again. Andy Whitfield is the biggest reason for watching the show, and he makes the rest of the actors look like...cartoon caricatures. The guy is good, and it sucks that he should hit such a bad patch of luck. I hope he comes out of this in good health and ready to move on to something that better deserves his talents.<br /><br />As far as the show goes, I think it is a weak pretender to the HBO show 'Rome'. I don't like the 300-like style they've gone for. The violence is comic bookish and seems to fly in the face of the realism they seem to otherwise be striving for.<br /><br />Not sure if I'll watch the second season.<br /><br />Kris<br /><a href="http://kristopherdenby.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Sound and Fury of Kristopher A.
