Anybody watching this show?
Excessive violence, coarse language, and nudity! First episode was decent, but it's been getting better and better every episode.

I saw a fight scene. Looked like something out of 300 or Gladiator.

How does it compare to Rome?

I've been watching it. Not very impressed at all.

Poor acting, ****** characters and marsupialed, excessive CGI blood.

Rome was 100x better.

It did give me a little insight into why our language has so many words for "bad."

I bet the blood sounds came from overcooked pasta

This does not compare to Rome. It looks like Rome had a budget at least 3 times as much.

It looks like they shoot in a desert & the acting is almost comical.

the gratuitous swearing turns me off. could have been great if well executed but unfortunately, this one falls way short.

Finally got to see Xena naked so that's a plus.

Wow, that chick he was doing in the bath had great ****.

And that's the ONLY good thing I could think of. This looks awful.
