I enjoyed the first episode. It's good to see they haven't toned down the gore and stuff.

Watched the season finale at the weekend. What can I say... Absolutely amazing!!!!

First class series and was interesting to see the story of the characters from before Blood and Sand.

I believe Sky have picked it up and is due to be shown in the next few weeks, I'm going to watch it again hopefully in HD assuming they put it on a HD channel that VM has.

Thanks for the link, that is good news.

I had a feeling she hadn't died and she does have a mean streak about her so who knows what she'll get up to!

Shame season 2 is ages away

According to Sky's 'Never Miss' page it is coming March 2011 but who knows what channel, hopefully Sky1 so it can be seen in HD glory.

It's not a HBO show so unlikely to be on Atlantic
