Spartacus: Blood and Sand (Season 1) certainly made an impression, described as "possibly the lustiest, goriest, most wilfully red-blooded drama series the law and human decency will allow" by The Guardian's Charlie Brooker. The stylised and scintillating swords and scandals epic was a worldwide smash-hit. And Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is set to repeat this success, premiering on Sky 1 HD after the first series previously broadcast on Bravo.
