Spartacus: Vengeance

This gore-strewn action series returns to Blu-ray in spectacular style

Sex and violence (often at the same time) remain the driving forces behind this highly-stylised TV series. Having left the gladiatorial arena behind, this latest series follows Spartacus (Liam McIntyre, replacing the late Andy Whitfield) and his band of rebels as they begin their war with the Romans. The AVC 1.78:1 1080p encodes are every bit as remarkable as those of the previous seasons, while the lossless 5.1 audio makes full use of the soundstage. The set also includes plenty of extras.
