Spartacus: Vengeance, Season 2

It's quite different from S1, despite having a lot of the same characters. S1 focused on the ludos and interactions between the gladiators. S2 mainly focused on Glaber's hunt for Spartacus. I felt this season was strong overall, with a disappointing finale. The plotlines that related to the politics of Rome were strong. I also like the "relevation" about Illthyia that tied back to some events in S1. Some key points below... These contain SPOILERS, so don't read if you'd rather not know... - Andy Whitfield (who was sublime, RIP Andy!!) has been replaced by a new actor. The new actor is pretty good, but definitely not Andy, and lacks much of his charisma. - But that's OK, but several interesting villains, like Asher and Glaber, get a lot of screentime -Naevia was also replaced. Like many other posters, I don't like her much and do not think she's nearly as beautiful or as subtlely feminine as the actress from S1. So the romance with Crixus is harder to believe, especially since it is emphasized so much. And did she *really* have to kill Asher? Asher was way more interesting! - And since when did Crixus become such a pansy? It seems like he's crying in almost every other scene, or getting his a**ed kicked in most of the fights. I would not have guessed he was the Champion of Capua from S1! :) Having the original Naevia might have made his S2 story arc more believeable. The actor does a good job, though. - Lucy Lawless was a welcome addition back to the cast, with John Hanna sorely missed! - The baby dying at the end was a bit much for me. And Spartacus' team suffered so few losses. By the end of the season, I kind of wanted the Romans to live. The villains in Spartacus are arguably more interesting than the "heroes," at least in S2.

Action, plot twists and turns, beautiful women , gets four out of five stars because nothing beats the first season!

The acting was amazing and I don't know why people keep complaining and comparing Liam's acting to Andy's. they're both great and gorgeous in their roles and have different styles. Can't wait for War of the Damned to come out on iTunes.

It is beyond words!

How long after the finale does the show come to iTunes as I LOVE this show so much!!!!

Definitely an epic show, better than the crap they show on other channels, like the stupid Kardashians or Buckwild or the Jersey Shore.....I love this show, but I really miss Andy....Liam is great, but Andy was EPIC...RIP Andy Whitfield

Yeah I know it's a new guy and it was really weird getting used to the first few episodes but you honestly really get used to it after like the 3rd or 4th episode. :)

Greatest show ever made

When the fourth one come out!

To buy the whole season is the same as buying each episode one by one? Really wish buying the whole season gives me a some sort of discount. Great show.
