Spartacus: The Thing in the Pit (2010)
Season 1, Episode 4
8/10
wondered when it would become focused - episode 4

Warning: Spoilers
This is so far my best episode.

As another reviewer commented episodes 1 & 2 wasn't sure whether I could take it, episode 3 started to gel, and in episode 4 I finally feel I am watching the series I expected.

Gone are the unnecessary bosom, nipple and shagging scenes apart from one which would not offend, and in comes a linear story.

The Pits - in episode 1 or 2 Batiatus mentions the slaves going to the mines, I think they changed it to 'the pits'. Anyway, the Pits are where you make a fast buck gambling on the human equivalent of cock fighting.

Loads of blood, less of the stylised 'splash screens' and it felt more of a story although the concept was smaller.

1st episode I have really enjoyed,
