Starz is premiering a new show soon Spartacus: Blood and Sand. It looks to be somewhat in the vein of Gladiator & 300. Which is definitely a good thing. Staring the beautiful Lucy Lawless (Xena, Battlestar Galactica). For those of you without Starz, it looks like the show will be available via Netflix streaming right away. The series premier is on January 22nd. It looks like they are spending a lot of money on visual effects, hopefully they are spending a lot of money on writers as well (time will tell).
