Where does Spartacus rank as far as all-time series goes?

It's entertaining as hell. I mean really entertaining.

As far as quality plot, dialogue, and acting, it's not that good.

yeah it was straight up awesome. I think batiatus actor was from scotland. he was my favorite character.

Highly enjoyable series to watch.

#1 for dicks

Season 4 pretty much sucked and brought down the overall grade for me. It's a fun series but all y'all putting it in your top 5s and 10s need to revisit some other series on your lists.

It's real high, probably would have been higher if they didn't have to change main characters mid-stream.

Definitely in my Top 5!
Just finished up a few days ago after plowing through it. First series ever that I plan on re-watching.

Alright thats it, im gonna go binge this show. BRB.

One of the most entertaining shows I've ever watched and one of the best too.

This really was an great show to watch. It had everything that could satisfy you. Action, adventure, a good plot, politics, romance, the glory of being a gladiator and also the sheer brutality and barbaric nature of it, an accurate visual setting of the place and time period, historical references while not being completely 100% accurate still did a good job of staying true to historical record, and really hot and beautiful people that made for great sex scenes.

But the thing that puts it over the top is the dialogue. It's not so much the cussing that says shite, frick, arse, bitch but rather how the dialogue is set up where it's like broken English and Latin mixed together and sounds like a giant poem that doesn't bore you to death but rather entertains the hell out of you and keeps you coming back for more. It's one historical aspect this show absolutely got right as it is ignorant to assume people in that time period spoke like we do today with more descriptive dialogue and conversation.

I'm trying to imagine the cast of Spartacus talking like we do...

Spartacus: Hey, Crixus.
Crixus: Oh hey, Sparty. What's up?
Spartacus: I have a problem with Mira. She says that I hit her. I did naht.

Batiatus: Aww, dammit ! Now I'm not gonna be a senator. Well, shite man. I guess that's life.

Gannicus: WHERE ALL MAH BIG BOOTY BITCHES AND SHOTS AT???

Just finished the final episode and it was a very well done show.

Season 1 was all around fantastic. It probably is a top 10 show for me all time (from what I have watched) The prequel season was awesome just because of John Hannah. Season 2 was my least favorite because it took a while to get used to Liam Mcintyre. By season 3 I started to enjoy him portraying Spartacus in his own way.

Overall great show.
