Gods of the Arena has started pretty strong. Much better than the first few episodes of Blood & Sand.

Probably been said before but visually a total bad ripp of 300 with lousy acting. Laughably bad.
Just finished watching "Pillars of the Earth" mini-series (also from Starz) and it's a million times better.

The actor who played Spartacus had his cancer return after treatment. Gods of the Arena was supposed to be a stalling measure, but it doesn't look like Blood and Sand can continue without recasting or total retooling.

first episode of 'Gods of the Arena' was pretty good. Looks like they got more money this time around. Soft-Core with a story!

One hell of a season finale .. The last 20 minutes made my balls tingle

Feel real bad of the Spartacus actor, hope he has a full recovery.

it's like a comic book, 300 and a bad sci-fi show with an interesting story all combined.

C'mom guys... give it a chance.
In a few episodes into it you get to see Mira the hot slave from New Jersey.
I too had the "Rome meets 300" syndrome going in the beginning, but once you get over that, it's one of the greatest action series of all time.

I think it is absolutely awful. I detest the overused effects and the way it is just trying to be a mish-mash of the roman-greek epic films.
If special effects are going to look forced I don't think they should be used. The 'slow-mo blood shots' that are overkilled in this look awful. Someone up high has pretty obviously loved it in 300, where it is done well, and insisted it be used in almost every scene.
I have only watched the first 2 episodes and I found it cringeworthy.
- They really overused the effects in the first few episodes, but toned it way down after,ETM

Just finished watching the first season. It's entertaining and does what it set out to do.
