Spartacus: War of the Damned is gritty, fast-paced entertainment that truly re-energizes a legend.
Spartacus: War of the Damned hits DVD and Blu-Ray today, and we can tell you that it is a truly spectacular end to the much-loved Starz series.
The third and final series of the series follows Spartacus (the ever-handsome Liam McIntyre) as he leads a rebel army against the blood-thirsty Roman Republic. The Roman Senate alongside, wealthy politician, Marcus Crassus (Simon Merrells) and a young Julius Caesar vow to stop Spartacus’ rebel regime.
War of the Damned is compulsive viewing that you could spend the whole day watching (two nights in our case) – one episode simply is not enough. Fans of Rome, Game of Thrones and The Tudors will lap this series up. Even viewers who are new to the Spartacus saga will quickly grasp the storyline (although the previous series are well-worth exploring).
The sheer spectacle of War of the Damned is magnificent, as is its mix of gritty, high-octane violence and unabashed sex. The series has no pretenses of being anything else than good old fashioned entertainment and we love it for that.
Rating: 5/5
You can order Spartacus: War of the Damned on Amazon. We’d also recommend the complete box-set featuring Blood and Sand, Gods of the Arena, Vengeance & War of the Damned.
