Spartacus (tv series)
In other words the show clearly tries to maintain a level of historical accuracy while not losing sight of the fact that it's entertainment and not a documentary. Have no common language and what little communication they wereĬapable of wouldn't have contained the verbose level of word usage Would have had little to no education in most cases. The slaves were taken from all over the Roman empire and The most historically inaccurate area is probably the language andĭialogue.
Spartacus (tv series) series#
Watch32 Review: This TV series is one of my favorite drama TV shows last time. The arena combat is highly unrealistic and stylized for the sake ofĮntertainment rather than as an accurate depiction of the way Spartacus is an American television series inspired by the historical figure of Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who from 73 to 71 BCE led a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic departing from Capua. Because, the majority of the things depicted are true - the characters personalities and all of the battles and stuff, as I can believe, but it's not historically accurate as far as i know.īecause it is focused on the lives of merchants and slaves, and low level magistrates and praetors in a gladiator school in Capua, rather than the lives of consuls as you get with most depictions of Roman life. I think the Spartans were way more brutal than it was depicted in the show. just how much of the show is true and how much is fiction? I would to point out that my question it's not about the historical figure Spartacus and his story, but the roman society and his habits as it was presented in the show. Of course, considering the nature of the show, things are bound to be inflated, to make the series more entertaining and it's definitely working but still. The roman orgies are very famous, but the characters in the series have no shame towards the slaves and indulge themselves in all sort of strange practices.Īnd last but not least, it seemed fairly easy to kill someone and get away with it back then, as Batiatus demonstrated not just once. While it doesn't bother me one bit and I enjoy the series because it is what it is, it conflicts a little with what I had already known about the romans.įor starters, even if the gladiators were slaved, I lived under the impression that the most famous ones, the champions, were treated much better, something that doesn't seem to be the case with Spartacus and Crixus. Excited for the next season.I've recently started watching the Spartacus (just finished Blood and Sand and Gods of the Arena, currently watching Vengeance) and the events described seemed rather exaggerated. Not an egregious issue but one I’d like to see change. I think I can count on my hands the amount of places they go not including the different rooms of the lutus. If I’d have to give any criticism it’s obviously to the first few episodes but I’d say the main thing I had an issue with is a lack of location variety. Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. The story is developed in recreating a large graphic violence and explicit sex.

Starz develops in 4 seasons the story of the greatest gladiator who dared to confront the power of Rome and become an icon of freedom. Everything is set up well, and the payoff to literally everything is just as good. Tod Lassance is Julius Caesar in SPARTACUS TV Series (2010-2013). The writing is a bit melodramatic at points, but more often than not gets the point across in entertaining or emotionally affecting ways, and the storyline is really good. Of course the standout is Andy Whitfield as Spartacus, who’s thoroughly fantastic the entire length of the season, and who I’m genuinely going to miss watching the others. Spartacus, falsely accused of betraying the Roman commander he pledged his. They have a believable physicality of gladiators, but also act as real human beings who react realistically to the things happening around them. The third season (20162017) of the Turkish TV series, Dirili: Erturul. The entirety of it is a little too gratuitous in its violence (particularly the blood effects) to take totally seriously, but you do end up caring for the characters, which are portrayed excellently.
