    Steve DeKnight here (yes, that guy -- and you said my name correctly!). This was such a joy to watch. I haven't revisited the show in many years, and seeing it through the lens of a first-time viewer was really something special. Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to all of us who worked so hard on the show. And it was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul, Andy Whitfield. A true hero who shall forever be missed.

      My hat off to you, Sir. This was truly one of the most epic and fantastic shows I have ever watched. After I binged this season (when it came out) I immediately set to organising a watch with my father and he loved it as much as I did. It was really a special time that I won't forget. The ending of this season is unparalleled in my humble opinion.
      Regarding Andy. We were heartbroken when we found out what happened to him. He truly was the heart and soul of the show. What a performance! I really have to say that Liam did a wonderful job in the end and he was great in War of the Damned (after he had settled into the role). But oh it was so painful to imagine what could have been...
      One question if you wouldn't mind. Was it true that there was an intention to have a longer series if Andy pulled through?
      Regardless. Thank you for this wonderful gift of a show. Know that it is not forgotten and you (and Andy + the rest of the wonderful cast) have some lifelong fans from this.

It’s extremely underrated. I will say this.... Andy was Spartacus. The shoes that had to be filled were astronomical when they needed someone else. Liam McKentyre did Andy justice. I can’t imagine the pressure he had. He isn’t Andy but he did a damn good job. Keep going!! This series changes ur life!!!

    I watched Spartacus as it was coming out, so I kinda went through what you are going through right now as it was happening. When Andy passed I was devastated and I really thought there was no point watching the show anymore, or that it would be disrespectful to watch it. But then I watched the documentaries on the show and I watched Andy's Be Here Now documentary (of his journey with cancer until his last days). And I realized he would have wanted his fans to watch the show to the end, to support the work his friends were still putting forward to continue his legacy. So I watched it. It was totally weird at first, seeing another man being called Spartacus and even weirder when he called himself that. But after a while I started to appreciate Liam's portrayal of Spartacus more and more. What I realized is that Spartacus changed quite a bit as a character. After the ludus has fallen, he becomes more than the champion of Capua or a husband seeking revenge. He becomes a leader. A provider. He has many lives he must care for and protect. It would have been amazing to watch Andy explore these other sides to Spartacus, but Liam did an incredible job in continuing Andy's legacy and I feel strongly that Andy blesses it from the afterlife. So what I would say to you is, enjoy it without guilt. By watching and rewatching the show we honor Andy. We honor the journey he started us on and we keep his work and his legacy alive. And I promise you, the show does not disappoint. It is truly one of the best, most well rounded tv shows ever made. I hope to continue watching your reactions to the following seasons.

    R.I.P Andy
    That being said, please do not sleep on the rest of the show. The actors who worked with Andy felt the same way we do about him and went on to Honor Andy by stepping up and making 2 of the most incredible seasons of any series ever. My brother, you will have to Honor Andy by continuing on with the same energy you bring us on every reaction. As Andy did every day and every moment he was on screen. I loved season 2 and season 3 is actually my favorite. Looking forward to the rest of this journey with you, My Brother!

      So true, I was skeptical when the second season came out, and it does feel wrong in the beginning, it takes a while for you to truly accept it. But after a while you will notice the passion that Liam McIntyre puts into the role and he really does an incredible job of it. The final episode of the series is so insanely good, it would be such a shame to stop at season 1.
      That being said, I do agree that a break can be a good thing, as it makes the jarring change in actor perhaps less of a hit. Seeing Gods of the Arena before season 2 is also required in my opinion. It gives you so much more backstory that I feel is essential for season 2 and 3.

      ​@@Merwanorliam got better as it went on, but he never brought the character to life the way andy did. spartacus went from having the strongest actor to one of the weakest.
      liam just felt like he was up on stage giving speeches, which breaks the immersion at times, but i was always fully immersed with andy's portrayal of spartacus. i've seen many people say liam did just as good, but i honestly can't understand how they can believe that.
      i still love every season, because there are so many great characters, but season 1 will always be my favorite. in season 2 i often imagine how the scenes would be even better if andy were still playing spartacus, especially the scenes with him and glaber.
      this is already my favorite series ever, but it could have been so much better. if andy had lived, not only would seasons 2 and 3 be better, but there would be 4 more seasons. the director said this was originally intended to be at least 7 seasons, but they cut it short after andy's death.
      i will never be able to stop thinking about what could have been. 7+ seasons of spartacus with andy playing spartacus throughout the entire series. it would be twice as good as it already is. so sad that we didn't get that.

    I know how you feel about Andy. Spartacus season 1 is probably my favourite season of Tv ever, and the finale is probably one of the best episodes of TV ever. Andy was magnetic and I was devastated when he died, as he was on the brink of breaking out in the mainstream. I didn’t want to see the other seasons, and it took time for me to warm to Liam McIntyre. But he grew into the role, and season 4 ‘War of the Damned’ he made the character his own, and delivered on the promise of Andy to give us a fantastic season. RIP Mr Whitfield.

      i bought the whole series on dvd years after it aired and didn't even know andy had passed away. when i first saw spartacus in season 2 i thought "who the hell is that supposed to be?" imo spartacus went from having one of the strongest actors to probably the weakest of the main characters. thankfully there are so many other amazing characters and even the final 2 seasons top any other series for me.
      did you know they originally intended this series to be 7 seasons long before andy passed? after his passing they shortened it. just imagine how amazing this series would be if there were 7+ seasons, all with andy playing spartacus. i almost wish i never learned that, because it's pretty painful knowing what we missed out on.

    A few years ago, Manu Bennet / Crixus was a guest at the Festa dell'Unicorno, a fantasy convention held in Vinci, near Florence, here in Italy. They asked him about his relationship with Andy and he replied that he had suffered a lot at his death because on set, since he had to play a rival of his, they had never talked much to avoid getting intimate. When Andy died, Manu thought how sorry he was that they had not become more friends. Truly heartbreaking.

    Luckily, they did something smart with 'Gods of the Arena' which kindof lets that whole "Andy Whitfield isn't in it"-thing off the hook. :) But anymore information kindof spoils that effect. So I won't say :P
    What I will say is this: didn't you just love all the villainous monologues in this first season? Absolutely none of them were unconvincing. Solonius, Batiatus and especially Ashur. Ashur's "every stone in this FUCKING HOUSE!" - speech was perfection for me.

I am Argentine, and an ocean separates us on this planet, but thanks to your channel and your reactions, you are connected with me and with each one of us. This series is one of the best masterpieces ever made, and it is a pity that it is not more widely known and valued. You made me shudder and cry with all your reactions, feel the passion that I felt when I saw this jewel at the time. And what to say? Andy Whitfield was the fucking master!! What he did to his character as "Spartacus" was orgasmic, wonderfully orgasmic. And this is why the rest of the saga, with the other actor, doesn´t even reach the tip of his heels. Andy set the bar very high. "Gods of the arena" is masterful! You are going to love it !! Because it's the prequel, it explains a lot of things, and it's really great. "Blood and sand" and "Gods of the arena" are the best of this saga. I tried to watch the other seasons but couldn't, it was just impossible for me to connect with the new actor. Andy was Spartacus, and no one but him. Sorry, but that actor couldn't fill his shoes. So I will look forward to your reaction to the prequel (Gods of the arena) and the rest I will not see because I didn´t like it. But I will continue to support your channel and the rest of your content. Thanks a million for so much passion in your reactions and for the love you gave to this fantastic series and even an actor as wonderful as "Andy Whitfield". Thank you, thank you, thank you! All the love from Argentina! ♥

Paying respect to Andy is a right thing to do and im glad they didnt fuck up the series after he left us, i would say its the other way arround, that they extended his legacy and made the story whole.

    1. In one interview, Andy's widow revealed Paramount Pictures had approached him about staring in a Paradise Lost movie they've been trying to make. I've always hoped that Andy would be a household name by today. He had that John Everyman quality about him.
    2. Ash, did you not think how painful it was for Spartacus to kneel before the men who've wronged him? So fucked up!
    3. Like I did with Jai Courtney, Varro, when a main character dies, I will tell you what the actor has done since leaving this show, because A LOT of people who've been on this show went on to be really successful.
    4. John Hannah, Batiatus, he would later star on a season and a half of Marvel's Agents of Shield.
    5. Hope you decide to dive right into Gods of the Arena, Ash. If you love/hate Batiatus and Lucretia, you ain't seen shit yet my friend!
    6. Wish I could hug you man! Give you a shoulder to cry on, buy you a drink...or ten, lol.
    7. I promise you, Liam McIntyre did a fantastic job as Spartacus. He didn't one-up Andy. No-one could've played Spartacus like he did, but Liam made the character his own, and did Andy justice. Andy even gave them their blessing to pass the role on to Liam before he left us. I hope that helps you, man.
    8. And finally, you will have A LOT of crazy reactions as you watch the rest of this show.

    This show was a godsend for me. After i had major heart surgery and was laid up in my junior year of college I watched the first 2 seasons (gods of the arena being 2 in this case) and fell in love. I was a history major then, I am now ABD in a history doctoral program and wish I had specialized in classical history lol.
    The great thing about spartacus as a historical figure is as much as we do know about him, there is twice as much we don't know. Which allowed DeKnight and company a wide berth to play inside the historical narrative without betraying it entirely and boy howdy do they hit a great balance between the history as we know it and the requirements of making a television show entertaining and linear enough to make sense.
    I love that Ash might be the only other person I have ever seen that has the same passion and intensity for this piece of art as I and my brother do.
    Andy will never be forgotten, and Liam does a wonderful job stepping in for my man.

    Gods of The Arena (GOTA) - This one went into production while Andy was still alive. They were making it to give him time to recover and return. Unfortunately, we know how that turned out. What it does mean is that the same team that made season one was all still in place for GOTA, so the same level of intensity is there and it's a very short season, so they get a LOT of FANTASTIC story telling done VERY quickly.

      did you know they originally intended to make this series at least 7 seasons long? this is already my favorite series ever, but i can't even imagine how amazing it could have been if there were 7 seasons + gods of the arena, with andy playing spartacus the entire time. i love season 2, but every time i watch it i can't help but imagine how much better it would be with andy. he and glaber had a such a perfect chemistry in season 1, that chemistry just isn't there in 2. also, even though this isn't the fault of the actor, just having a new actor for spartacus in season 2 breaks the immersion a little, especially the first time watching.

    Think all the fans undestaind what this show and Andy as Spartacus means to you. I remember when news about his passing broke i was in shock for many days, specially because not long before that there were news that he is getting better and on his way to recovery, at that time Spartacus was already recasted for season 2, but i didn't care, i mean i was exited for season 2, but i were just glad that Andy is ok, and i was wery exited to see what he gonna do next, because he was such a good actor and i was instant fan of his after Spartacus. Then i read that he died and it was like punch in a gut. He is not forgotten and im happy about that. I love thus show, and next seasons as well, and Liam McYintyre did a great job, but it was bittersweet to watch it. Rest in peace Andy Whitfield, wish his family all the best.

      Certain things only Andy did.
      His charisma was infectious, and after watching his documentary you also saw his human side.
      It made you warm to him so much.
      Spartans and Crixsus was just an unbelievable combination together on screen.

    Finally ! F I N A L L Y, when I saw you were reacting to Spartacus and observed how you were growing more and more interested in the show, I couldn't wait for you to see the last 3 or 4 episodes, because there is so much happening in them.
    Obviously, no one can replace Andy (who was so handsome and talented), but, believe us all when we say that McIntyre did a stellar job. And like so many, you're in for a ride with Gods Of The Arena, but also Vengeance, then War Of The Damned. You will not regret watching the show in its entirety : if you think you're a disciple, then wait till you meet Gannicus :) then reach the end of War Of The Damned. But, yes, the tap on the shield moment is iconic for a reason and is entirely unforgettable.
    As a big fan of the show, I am so happy you have discovered it and like it so much ! I actually teach Latin and Ancient Greek to middle schoolers and I always wished I could show them this show : unfortunately the nudity prevents me from doing it, so seeing someone who had never heard of the show be so into it makes me really happy. Thank you for your reaction and really glad you reached the end of this wonderful show.
