About this episode

Kat and Amy discuss the new Spartacus series, exploring its accessibility for new viewers and the challenges it faces.

Attend mind towards glorious task - and listen to the new episode of The Legendary Ladies Podcats, where Kat and Amy dive into the new Spartacus series: Spartacus: House of Ashur. The hosts approach the review of episode 1 from different perspectives - Kat as entirely new viewer, and Amy as a long-time fan, allowing the Ladies to discuss whether the new series is inherently accessible for a new audience, and if it is, does it capture a first time watcher effectively. Amy and Kat also chat about the challenges facing the new series, share thoughts about the [current] lack of Roman elite, and debate whether Ashur was the right character to resurrect from the grave. All this and more on this week's episode.
