Additional InformationThis set contains every episode from the first series of this terrific, yet incredibly violent take on the enduring story of Spartacus. Also includes GODS OF THE ARENA set before the arrival of Spartacus. Produced by Sam Raimi (SPIDER-MAN, THE EVIL DEAD) and created by screenwriter Steven S. DeKnight (a veteran scribe on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL), SPARTACUS û BLOOD AND SAND combines the epic scale of blockbusters such as GLADIATOR and TROY with the sex, violence and intrigue of hard-hitting series ROME and THE TUDORS.
ReviewsVariety - Having drawn blood with the first "Spartacus'?" simple-minded charms, there's no exiting this arena until the last crimson drop has been wrung out of it -- and in slow motion., The Onion - [SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND] [ItÆs] a smartly plotted melodrama that brings Spartacus' story into a house of vipers thatÆs like MACBETH by way of MELROSE PLACE.
