Mr. DS

I just started watching this show on Netflix.  Its gritty, violent and I love it.  Its like Rome meets 300.  Anyone else watching?

As a piece of history, it's largely crap.

But VERY entertaining!  I wish they would put another episode on the 101, since I'm too cheap to spring for STARZ.

Been meaning to.

I tell ya, it's funny, I hadn't really heard about that show until I read this article on USA Today about "Cable pushing the envelope of what goes on TV!!"  And it highlighted this show as the new wave of shows on late night that really skating the edge in terms of violence and sexual explicitness.  And then it mentioned that Lucy Lawless was in it, and I'm like, "Oh, hell ya, I gotta catch that!"

Granted, it would have been cooler if she'd done this about a decade ago, but still...

From what I saw of it, it was pretty terrible.  Entertaining though, but man..  Just, bad.  It's also one of the biggest ripoffs ever.  But I can totally understand why you guys would enjoy it.

Hey, she still looks good. 

The show is nothing but complete cheesy fun.  I'm enjoying it.
At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

:teddyr:  Me too.  I watched the first episode on 101 and debated getting STARZ just for it but my husband looked at me like I was crazy. so, no go.  :bluesad:

He wasn't compelled by the power of Lawless' breasts?  :bouncegiggle:

I just watched the last episode "Shadow Games".  For the first time in a long time I cheered at the end of watching something!

Didn't you cheer when TWILIGHT: NEW MOON ended?

I watched the fist two episodes, them forgot it existed. Raimi and Tapert should stick to camp, this series is just overdirected crap. Some of the directorial choices where so stupid I found myself laughing.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

Apparently, the show has been popular enough, there'll be a season 2.
