The other day someone was showing me pictures of the show Spartacus. I'm quite interested in Greek and Roman history, so I figured I'd give it a watch since it is on Netflix. Of course, I got bored a bit into it. As it happens, the shows which feature gladiators are often full to the brim with death and sex and blood. I was especially upset when they killed two characters that I liked very much. So I texted the girl and asked if it got better after the first death and she sent me "omg yes you have to keep watching!!!" Just like that. So I did and man, am I glad.

Spartacus is based around the actual life of Thracian gladiator, Spartacus, and his role in the Third Servile War in Rome. If you are religious, then this show gives you a look into life before Christ and the absolute depravity of the people. They have sex in the streets, are nude constantly and value no life. Yet it remains absolutely thrilling. You can find hope in Spartacus and his fellow gladiators, such as Crixus and Oenomaus. They are out for more than the glory of killing people... Well Crixus is after he meets Naevia. 

If you enjoy history and would like a look into the horrors and wonders of ancient Rome, then I definitely suggest Spartacus. You'll find yourself cheering to your laptop screen as they kill the horrible people, the liars and the cheats. Though I definitely do not suggest eating while you watch.

catch you later,
