I enjoyed the series all in all but the historical absurdities of this last season pretty much ruined it for me. Marcus Crassus as a master swordsman who sparred with gladiators? Gaius Julius Caesar as some kind of scruffy surfer boy wild man? The T&A and gory combat scenes kept it entertaining but the writing was laughable. Its more in line with Xena: Warrior Princess than HBO's Rome.
A Caesar spinoff from this team and with this actor would be an abomination.

That was epic and gut wrenching.

Everyone knows the story of the real Spartacus, but when telling a tale which is what most of these shows are like the Rome show you mentioned, and which I also enjoyed. You wanna semi tell the story, but in a fascinating, unique way that most of us wish had really happened. I think they accomplished that with flying colors.
