I knew it would be present, but not as much as it was. What threw me off a little was the amount of nudity and sex in the show. Yea, it doesn't look real, but it's not supposed to. Also, while the amount of blood that is spilled can be seen as excess, it works perfectly for the style of combat and violence that the show uses.

It's not uncommon to watch blood slowly spray away from a slashing sword in slow motion. The way it is filmed makes it look gritty and dark, and there's excessive amounts of blood. Spartacus: Vengeance has a bit of a 300 feel to its combat. I won't give away any plot spoilers, but I can tell you what to expect from this episode – whether you've seen the show before or not. Spartacus is having to decide whether to satisfy his need for vengeance against the man who put his wife into slavery, or make the necessary sacrifices to keep the small and fragile army together. Praetor Claudius Glaber and his troops are sent to Capua to finish Spartacus and his small army of freed slaves off once and for all.

After escaping the bloody mess at the House of Batiatus, Spartacus and the gladiator rebellion are killing Roman soldiers and striking fear into the heart of the Roman Republic.

With the new episode “Fugitivus,” the story picks up where the first season, Blood and Sand, left off. Spartacus: Vengeance will seduce you with its style, violence, and sex. I've never seen an episode of the Starz series Spartacus before, but upon watching the first episode of season two, I can honestly tell you that I am 100 percent hooked on this show.
