So what went wrong? Not as sexy as the previous Spartacus serieses?

speaking for myself, i just had no interest in another Spartacus spinoff. the idea was good for one series, that's enough.

I absolutely agree. Also am just finding out that this one, house of ashur, is an alternate timeline story. This is ridiculous levels of MCU-ification.

And no one gave a fuck about this guy to begin with.

Right 😂 I'm glad to have the confirmation that I didn't miss something glaringly obvious from the series lol

Mentally adding ", precious?" within your comment to fully appreciate "serieses."

Lol sorry, i have no idea how to communicate series in plural. Is it "series' "? Because i hate that and would rather sound like gollum.

If I haven't heard of a series until it's cancelled, that's a good indicator of one of its major problems to me.

IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 98d

and with all the cancellations, I'm afraid if getting into a show due to fear of it being cancelled.

Somewhat related, what's with all these shows coming out with the title "House Of X"? I skip past all of them, because it sounds like a trash reality show title.

Sex and blood may be the meat and potatoes of entertainment, but you do have to spice them differently if you want to excite people.

Too much Roman spice, it got stale.

Additionally they decided to base the show on the most annoying character from the Spartacus series.
