Absolutely Amazing!
Spartacus: God’s of the Arena is the prequel to the other 3 amazing seasons of Spartacus and it’s just as great as those 3! Most prequels usually don’t live up to the original but this absolutely does as it ties into the original story perfectly! Anything I say won’t do the Spartacus Saga justice so I’ll just say go watch this incredible series!
Review By: Supermanfan-13
I ended up liking this mini better than all the Spartacus seasons.
I always did like the Romans better. I found the politics and intrigue of the House far more interesting than the gladiators and the ludus. As in season one, the writing was brilliantly weaved. The main plot is that of Batiatus trying to step out from the shadow of his father to elevate his own name by overcoming his enemies at any cost to ensure the success of the House with his wife’s help. His father, friends, slaves, and gladiators get pulled into his and Lucretia’s machinations. The back-story to many of the characters we see in season one of Spartacus(Blood and Sand) is told here. You may be surprised to see how different some of the characters were five years earlier.

Gannicus is introduced in this mini-series. He ended up being my favorite gladiator out of them all. Lover of wine and women, this guy is just plain fun in a world full gloominess. His personality carries through in the other seasons of Spartacus like a ray of sunshine where everything is so depressing. He’s a flawed but basically good person.

Batiatus’ father treats him like he’s incompetent. In some ways Titus is right, and yet it’s just not fair the way he treats his son. A younger softer Lucretia isn’t really so bad, yet when motivated by something she cares deeply about such as her husband or her dear friend Gaia, her viciousness comes out, though weirdly you kind of get it, but not excuse it. Lucretia and Batiatus truly loved each in other. They’d do anything for each other. Murder is no exception. Twisted, but damn good! These two are my favorites in the entire Spartacus series. I love well written villains.

John Hannah and Lucy Lawless commanded the screen with their brilliant portrayals. Lucy Lawless’ acting range is impressive. She goes from softness to gradual subtle changes as her character changes into a harder colder person. Kudos to her. Her acting has always been excellent. John Hannah is just as brilliant here as he was in season one. Dustin Clare owned the role of Gannicus.

The mini isn’t for everyone. Like the series, there is graphic violence(one very disturbing rape scene), sex scenes(straight, gay, and a very hot lesbian scene), and explicit language. It encompasses the same stylized look as the series, and has amazing action. Watch all series as aired by Starz. This is a prequel, not season one. The mini is important to see as events are mentioned in the later seasons. Also the beginning and end gives away the end of Blood and Sand. Watch Blood and Sand first, Gods of the Arena second, Vengeance third, and finally War of the Damned last.

I wish there could have been more episodes. I believe there was a missed opportunity for “The House of Batiatus.” A TV show based on that would have been wonderful. This little gem of a mini-series came about due to Andy Whitfield’s illness. Made to give him time to get better. Sadly, he passed away. I think ‘Gods of the Arena’ and the rest of the series honored the legacy he left with his brilliant performance in season one.10/10
