Loved the originals, especially the first series and the brilliant Gods prequel. It developed the character's well and created tension in the belly of the ludus. Slaves were at the terrible mercy of the nasty owners and their rich friends above.
Nick Tarabay was fantastic as Ashur, great to see him return. I hope that Gannicus and Onamaeus do, too.
Oh this should be epic!
shareWhile I love the series as well (and thought Nick Tarabay was very good, albeit a fully detestable character, played perfectly), I don't understand this upcoming show. Ashur was not exactly a favored character and was killed off. I don't like the history re-write and am not that excited because Ashur was not enough to carry the show himself. While he was a good addition and played the part well, I just don't really see how this will work.
Still, I will likely check it out!
