    Fantastic. The pilot didn’t really impress me either but the show and characters have really grown in the last few episodes. This last episode, Delicate Things, even managed to surprise me a bit. Glad Starz is truly going to give this show a chance to find it’s audience.

  4. Gary Says:

    I’m glad Starz is allowing this show to develop. The characters are starting to develop…evolving from charactures of gladiators to humans with faults and failings.
