That was the first episode where I wasn't checking the clock.
The fights in the pits were bad ass

"You wanna face me next?!?!" 
I get a chuckle out of the announcement out the start of each episode, telling viewers that the extreme content is all in the name of historical accuracy. Then they go nuts with the camp and comic stylings. I've been entertained though. Another poster had it right when saying you just can't look at this as an attempt to be "Rome". Maybe more like a hard-core "Xena: Warrior Princess", with everything turned up to 11 (from the same producers, no less).

hmmm so how is that guy going to get out of debt. He lost everything and now he has another man's baby to raise. He'll probably die and the other rich guy will move in.

loving this show
it's cheesy as hell but awesome at the same time
definitely not something you can take serious or you will be sorely disappointed

I mostly like this show out of a guilty pleasure, but that brief shot where one gladiator removed a fallen one's face really freaked me out.

definitely my guilty pleasure show
I worry how they are going to keep coming up with bigger and badder gladiator opponents
Fights are always entertaining
