"Spartacus: War of the Damned" - is the third and final episode of a series commissioned by the cable channel Starz for gladiator Spartacus and the people that went after him to death for the sake of freedom.

Battlefield

The third part of the epic narrative of Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) and raised their slave revolt against Rome leads the audience on the battlefield. At this time the fight is not in the arena, it ceased to be a theatrical performance, the action develops in the real world.

Spartak continued to avenge the death of his wife, who was killed by the Romans, at the same time it demonstrates the amazing talents of the commander and the leader, followed by thousands of ready to go. Despite the fact that he did not so much natural charm, he literally battling people their democratic views and opens their eyes to the truth.

Romans in the fight against the uprising led by Marcus Licinius Crassus (Simon Merrells). He is the only worthy opponent Spartacus, able to appreciate not only the brute force and cunning, and the sharpness of mind, which often play a crucial role in achieving the goal.

Mix, but do not stir

"Spartacus: War of the Damned" is like the cherry on the cake - the final touch: the fans of the first two parts of the happy look, and a third, this story requires a certain completion. In the continuation of the famous saga fans of the series will find all the same as in the first two parts: the battle scenes, a sea of ​​blood, sophisticated methods of killing people and animals, eroticism, bordering on pornography. This is a thriller, squared, and not a historical drama, as stated by the creators of the project,

The cable channel Starz, from the outset limited by censorship, which is burdened by terrestrial television, has released the first draft of "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" with shocking scenes of his frankness. The series is not much stood out in dramatic terms, but the amount of eroticism and unprecedented cruelty closeup forced to talk about the project, even those who have not watched a single series. Soon, this way of storytelling has become the hallmark of "Spartacus."

From this series I do not expect that it will be a dramatic event of the year, and the actors will be nominated for the "Emmy". This is a project under the audience, which he will like from the first series for gamers and adventure. The task of heroes - fight with the enemy, win, receive a prize, to fight a new enemy. Around this principle is based on each series, if the enemies and change, the essence remains unchanged.

Heroes of Might without magic

The idea of ​​the series "Spartacus: War of the Damned", as well as all the historical series, owned by Stephen C. Denaytu. He is best known for the TV series "Buffy - the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." In movies for teenagers, he jumped into the category of adult films, and decided not to waste time on trifles, and immediately remove the series with a rating that is better for viewing prevent anyone under the age of twenty-one years old, and pregnant women, and people with increased nervous excitability.

The premiere of the third part of the series was held in January 2013. Total ten shows of the season series. The latest series is called "Victory" and completes the story that began with the capture of Spartacus.

For the Starz channel TV series, this was a definite breakthrough: attracted new audiences, liked the same. It is likely that the management of the channel would be to insist on a sequel or spin-off. There is another possibility: the actors of the project will be offered to play the role in another series, the production of which will pay Starz. Practice is not too common, but there are in the US TV. First of all, the channel might be interested in playing the main roles: Liam McIntyre, Manu Bennett, Lucy Lawless, Peter Mensah, Nick Tarabey, Viva Bianca, Katrina Law, John Hannah, Daniel Fyurrigal and others.

"Spartacus: War of the Damned" as anything can be to blame for the primitive, for a weak plot, mediocre acting game and boring dialogues. The series, from the first day of appearance, found its niche, he found fans who provided the project extension. He, like many American series, has an excellent image quality and a great soundtrack that is already part of the offset disadvantages. "Spartacus" spectacle, and it is the most important component of its success and the quality of the plot, in this case, recedes into the background.
