TRAILER TRASH: SPARTACUS

I really love how cable channels are taking huge risks on television shows, while the major netyworks continue to play it safe with outdated concepts. I never thought about watching STARZ because I felt the very few original shows they had on there (Crash anyone?) sucked. Now they're ready to play with the big boys (i.e., SHOWTIME & HBO) with their new original series Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Seems they took some of the best elements from HBO's Rome, Zack Snyder's 300, and Gladiator, and cooked a really promising series. This is the classic tale of the Republics most infamous rebel who comes alive in the graphic and visceral new series, Spartacus: Blood and Sand. If you liked awesome shows like Rome ( I really miss that show) and Legend of the Seeker, you should definitely show your support for Spartacus. Andy Whitfield stars as the titled character, as well as the ever so awesome Lucy Lawless. Premieres January 22, 2010 on Starz.
