If you have Starz upon thars, go to the On Demand menu. Then premium, then Starz and scroll to Spartacus. I'm not sure what day the new episodes show up. I think there's only 6 this season.

The sex isn't gratuitous or graphic in the porn sense. It has it's place in the story line.
Great casting, writing, direction.

I've just started watching the series: You can start from the beginning (season 1) just ordering it streaming online from Netflix.

The second episode of Season One has a great sceen with the Dominus (Owner of Gladiators) and his wife. Apparently, without Viagra, Romans had to improvise.....I won't say any more.

I have no idea. I saw the second one of the second season for the first time over the weekend.

For the past 13 hours, give or take, I've been watching this show (1st season). Dayum! That's all I can say.

But I did a bit of google hunting, and most of the sex scenes are using the "green screen". Most of the actors had body doubles. Some of the actors being shown nude (males) wore an "extender" because they didn't feel "big enough" or were embarassed. Lucy Lawless had no fear of showing her boobs..so those are hers. So are the regular stand ins in the crowds being shown.

Found the info here after googling:
http://thetorchonline.com/2010/02/15/sex-and-nudity-on-spartacus/

(I wondered how actors could be in those situations and not get woodies humping on each other).

Anyway..I see why Rome fell. Talk about debauchery. Sheesh. They would have put Sodom and Gomorrah to shame.

Is "on demand" like pay per view?

I don't get starz...so I watched all of season 1 on netflix. Watched 1 and 2 episodes of season two on netflix as well. I have to wait until the rest are available. I understand its only six episodes this season.

Personally...I think season 2 is lacking. You gotta watch season one. I was hooked immediately, although I was pretty grossed out at the debauchery.....and mostly, how helpless the slaves really were depicted. They did as they were told..or else. After episode 3, I was getting a bit frustrated they allowed it for so long and didnt have a revolt way before hand.

Debauchery Not much shocks me. I did like what i saw of the second episode though.

If you liked Episode 2 so far, you will love Ep 1. Loved the actor. He played it so well. But he sure frustrated me waiting so darn long and being so trusting. lol. Blame the writers, heh.

If you pay a fee every month, you can get Starz, HBO, etc.
Netflix is cheaper though. For online streaming, its like 6 bucks a month.

I have the full dish package and it includes everything but the mega sports packs. I get starz. Ive just never look at the "on demand" things. I wasn't sure if it was like the PPV movies.

Really? Ive never looked into netflicks. Thats not a bad deal at all!!

Never thought of that. I could prob drop my Starz etc and have Nutflix for the same price- only hundreds (thousands?) more movies available.

syrenn- press the "on demand" button on the remote. You can browse around and see what's free (lots btw). It'll let you know if there's a fee. There are extras too- I think you can call up an image of a burning fireplace (purely for ambiance of course)

Thanks Mr H. I have the fireplace DVD

Actually, I think its 4.99 per month right now for online streaming only. No dvd's, though. I joined last year so I get instant play and one movie dvd at a time for 9 bucks a month. If I dumped the dvd, it would drop half price. And yes..its cheaper than the cable package. I, at one time, had 90 movies for instant play tagged to watch whenever I felt like it..right here on my pc monitor. You can also watch from your tv if you have a WII or a PS3..or you can get other gadgets to transmit from netflix to the tv set. I havent done that...yet. But I plan to. Eventually, netflix is going to get rid of the dvd mailings and do straight streaming. They said it will save them buku bucks going that route..which they in turn can convert to saying US money too.

I just looked. I have 52 in my instant play...and 25 in dvds to be sent out that I want to see. This isnt just movies either. TV shows are included in instant play.

I have the WII and saw that option. Again, i just never played with it.
