Hard to watch it without Andy Whitfield as Spartacus but I am enjoying it. Obviously a bigger budget for sets etc, the plot is already getting thick, action is progressively more badass. What ya think so far?

You can really notice the increase in budget lol.
I am liking it so far, I don't know if the novelty of it has worn off or this seasons just isn't as good though lol.

I am really not liking the combat scenes. EVERY FRICKIN SLASH GOES TO SLOW MOTION!! I mean seriously, it's like a kid found a special effects button on an old school camcorder.

I haven't been able to get past the bad acting in front of a green screen feel of it yet, the new Spartacus just doesn't look right to me, he doesn't fit the role imo.... but it is still better than 98% of the other crap on TV

I'll give the new guy another week, but I think they've failed to replace Whitfield.

Never watched TV much so haven't seen the original, but I've heard talk of the same thing you're saying from friends who watch it.
Seems to happen a lot like a "spinoff" (for lack of a better term). Never as good as the original, with a few exceptions.

I'm really just waiting to see if the story takes a more interesting direction, and they decide to do something other than fast motion combat scenes that cut to slow motion for the slashes, and speed back up to full speed afterwards. Oh, and to see if the acting lessons the guy playing Spartacus took start to pay off.

The new guy is pretty bad, but I'm already starting to get sucked in to the plot so I'll keep watching it.

I saw the first one and haven't had a chance to watch any others yet. It's hard without Andy since Liam is so different. The fact that he is 10 years younger than Andy really shows when he's on set with guys like Crixus. He also doesn't have anywhere near the form that Andy had, which I can understand since he was coming from a role where he had to be very skinny.
The whorehouse scene seemed a little forced to me, but I think we're all so used to the ludas. It's very different seeing all these new sets. Also, the lack of Batiatus is noticeable. The man could really act.
