Of course they were all despicable, that's kind of the point. Doesn't mean they weren't great characters.

Nothing noble, or even the pretense of nobility, in identifying bad behaviour. The Batiatus character spoke cool lines but his actions were reprehensible. Sorry if recognizing that somehow offends you.

No one said he wasn't a compelling character to watch on the screen. I believe what is being expressed is that he wasn't a man to be admired.

I'm not saying Batiatus wasn't a fun character to watch. Often the worst of individuals are portrayed as interesting characters. Its a device that's been used in dramas as long as there have been dramas.

I didn't care for his actions. He was never anything other than a weasel to me. Like the rest of the Romans in that series.

Is it worth watching the last two seasons? I watched the first two and quit when I found out the Spartacus actor died.

Wish they made a spinoff. Crassus was a great villain.

Just started the show last night. The first episode is bad, IMO. (ETA: Only made it halfway through the first episode before I crashed, so I haven't finished the episode. But I'm not hooked. Pretty boring episode.)

The terrible green screen. Slo-mo / paused blood spray nonsense.

Tell me it gets better.
