Unlike some of Starz’s TV shows in the past like Spartacus, Kelsey Grammar’s newest TV series Boss is not streaming on Netflix. That is a shame, because apparently it is pretty good. Grammar received a Golden Globe for his role in the first season of the show. Yet, there is plenty of Grammar’s previous TV work available on Netflix. You can

I have been a pretty big fan of Starz’s Spartacus series. The first season and subsequent prequel series were stellar, must-see TV. A new trailer for the second season Spartacus: Vegeance, however, is less-than-stellar. The main problem for me is that there is a new Spartacus. I have to hold my judgement until January when the series actually debuts, but I

When Starz came up with the idea for a prequel series to Spartacus: Blood and Sand last year I wasn’t so sure it was going to work out. Well, it did. If you were a fan of the original run, you will likely be a fan of the prequel. Here is a look back at the six-episode prequel series Spartacus:

(RATING 3.5/5) The finale of Starz’s Spartacus prequel series, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, was rather satisfying.

The elder and younger Batiatus have tried to talk out their differences over the last couple of episodes, but that is over. The elder puts an

(RATING 2.5/5) Despite the huge Roman orgy in the middle, this was a pretty slow and tame episode of Spartacus – only with this show could I say that. Most of the episode is dedicated to the younger Batiatus luring his father out of the ludus so that Lucretia and Gaia can stage this impressive orgy for the upper class

(RATING 3.5/5) The house of Batiatus goes through some growing pains in this foundation-building episode of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena. The ambition of Batiatus has brought the honor of the primus (the best slot in the gladiator games) to the ludus, but his skillful and deceitful maneuvering is undone when the elder Batiatus returns from warmer climates. The elder’s
