Anyone else having fun with this somewhat of a "guilty pleasure" TV show?

It's kind of a 300 meets Gladiator type deal so far. The action, setting and some of the characters (Doctore and Batiatus in particular) are great and it's all kinds of bloody. Ep. 6 had Lucy Lawless topless! I'd wanted to see that since I was a teenager.

Isn't Lucy Lawless like 860 years old now? No thanks.

Edit: She's 42 I guess. And doesn't look half bad.

I've seen two episodes. It's boring and so awful even female full frontal nudity can't save it.

I really like it. It is so over the top it is awesome. A little to much man meat for me at times but I still like it.

Step one. Find the youtube code for the video, in this case yHxn8mTpAJU

[ youtube ] + code + [ /youtube ] = imbedded youtube (without the + sings or spaces.

Could only get through 2 instances of CGI blood splatter before I turned it off. I think I set my expectations kind of high though, since I thought it would be along the same lines as Rome...

Any show with hottie brunettes get watched by me. I watch that show wanting to be entertained and so far it has done that.

Safe to say she's out of her prime.

couldn't get into it. looks like the director or writers had too much love on for the effects from 300 and over did it in that respect. story is meh. like someone posted above, not even female frontal kept me intersted.

I watched 2 episodes and decided I should start from the beginning. The 2 eps I saw were great, boobs, violence, orgies, Xena, what's not to like.

It's not a must watch, but I'll watch it when I'm bored and have nothing else to watch. I have to watch in 25 minute increments... makes it watchable then!

This show is man fantasy! "First I'll have you inside me before I help you!" Ha man this show is fun.
The first 2 episodes are brutal. The writing is terrible the cut scenes and effects, but it got way better. The third was a vast improvement but the fourth is where it starts shining. So some of you who quit after 2, start again. It gets better, and Zena isn't too bad dressed all in transparent lace.

This show is no guilty pleasure! It's a man show where we get violence, sex, slave sex, and "Jupiter's c**k" said every 4th sentence. I for one love this show for what it does not pretend to be...

That answer is subtle.

My woman watches it for the "maleness" or "full frontal waxed man fun" in it. See gets all excited, it's pretty funny.

Exactly how I felt, the CGI blood is hilariously bad but besides that its just fun to watch, and the fact its so completely over the top in its nudity, sex and violence is just a bonus.

Its available for free on your On Demand for Movie Central.
