So I just watched episode 5 last night and I have to say that I'm liking it a lot! Yes - the CGI is bad, but in an artistic non-realistic kinda way, and the acting is pretty wooden too, but overall it's a good distraction!
I'm also watching HBO's "The Pacific" and I like that too; not as good as Band of Brothers but still good and informative.

So I've finally gotten around to watching Spartacus. Very good show. I agree with Matt here; the first episodes weren't great. Especially the first one, but once you accept the CGI and the stylized manner in which battles and blood spew forth in a never ending parade, it's actually pretty damn good. I found myself properly hooked around episode 4 and finished Blood and Sand within a week. That last episode, bloody hell... (literally)
At the moment I'm watching Gods of the Arena and that is also very watchable. I really like Batiatius. Not him personally of course, what with him being an evil sob and so on, but watching his exploits sure is amusing. Gods of the Arena is must-see if you've enjoyed Blood and Sand.
Apart from my girlfriend thinking I'm now watching porn on a regular basis, Spartacus is a recommendation to everyone who has enjoyed Rome and Gladiator. By the way, if you've not seen Rome (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384766/): shame on you!
