    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The wooden training swords used by the gladiators appeared to be very light and easy to handle. Historically speaking, wooden training swords for Gladiators were actually made to be heavier than steel swords in order for their handling of a Gladius to be more efficient.
    • Goofs
      In several episodes the use of the letter U, for example under the bust that Batiatus made for Spartacus, was seen. The letter U in Latin wasn't used in place of V as consonant until the Middle ages.
    • Quotes

      Spartacus: There are many men in this place that I would see dead. You are not among them.

      Varro: One day you may not have a choice.

      Spartacus: There is always a choice.

    • Crazy credits
      During the series run, each episode has shots from the season as the background while the credits roll. The pictures in the background vary depending on the season. The exception to this being the series finale where a montage of the characters are displayed.

    Is it a show? NO! Its pure art
    So my regional netflix added this show a while ago and I was getting recommendation to see it. Initially I was very skeptical as I was not sure about the historical background. I thought its just another show with gladiator type fighting and lot of nudity (I read it in IMDBs section and reviews). After a while I gave it a try, I found first episode boring but continued to watch. And after third expisode when all major characters were introduced and story was making shape I found myself glued towards the screen to anticipate what is going to come next. I liked this show so much that I am watching it second time, we talk about GOT and Breaking Bad, IMO this show deserves equal standing.
