These victories have not only forged the legend of Spartacus, but have greatly increased the ranks of the rebellion slaves to more than 30,000.
Spartacus and his men have amassed major victories against the Romans after the Battle of Vesuvius. “Spartacus: War of the Damned” takes place following the defeat of Roman commander Gaius Claudius Glaber.
STARZ will premiere the final installment of their highly successful Spartacus franchise, “Spartacus: War of the Damned,” on Friday, Januat 9pm ET/PT, exclusively on STARZ. The Sky Arts pilot trailer is below, as I can’t find one on Channel 4’s site.Not movie-related but I am a big fan of STARZ's SPARTACUS franchise and STARZ has unleashed this new trailer for the upcoming and final season, SPARTACUS: WAR OF THE DAMNED. Also, click on the top image for the full-size version. Overall, Damned is certainly worth watching, but it didn’t feel like it grabbed me as much as I was hoping for.ĭamned begins tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm, and isn’t yet available to pre-order Blu-ray or DVD, but can be seen on All 4 after broadcast. Not sure how it’s crossed over to Channel 4, but anyway. The drama is reminiscent of Getting On, but the sarcastic comedy doesn’t hit the high mark of that show.Īnd while watching this, there was an element of “I’ve seen something like this before…”, and I have – it was originally a pilot on Sky Arts in 2014. The comedy is hit and miss, but it’s a bit uneven in the way that there’s some light-hearted comedy in the office, and then when the cast have to do home visits, such as Rose dropping in on down-at-heel Rhona ( Tilly Vosburgh), it leans in the direction of drama, so it’s an odd mix. So, you get an idea of the flavour of the humour, and they even try to cram a minor plotline in there, with Nitin forced by his inappropriately bossy boss Denise ( Georgie Glen) to write a report, spying on all his colleagues to work out who’s goofing off all day. Nitin ( Himesh Patel): “Are you transitioning?”, to which comes the response, “Hysterectomy(!)”Īnd when they have a regular meeting which involves a policeman sitting in to give a cop’s angle, Al whispers to Rose in a discussion about biscuits: “He’s got three chocolate fingers under his helmet”, she replies: “Ooh, that’s a clever trick(!)” We’re like sex workers but without the intercourse”Įlsewhere, Ingrid ( Morwenna Banks) is having an operation tomorrow “by which time I’ll no longer be a woman”. Meanwhile, ever-returning temp Nat ( Isy Suttie) is back again, but she refers to temps as “Interim workers.
For example, in the first episode, Al ( Alan Davies) is always hassled by his off-screen girlfriend, while Rose ( Jo Brand) hates her ex-husband, Lee ( Nick Hancock). There’s some cringe-comedy and plenty of sarcasm as the staff deal with their clients as well as their own lives being in a mess. So far, I’ve seen the first two episodes, and both have begun with various calls coming in from the public including one-liners such as “What’s the alcohol allowance for a 12-year-old?” and “You’ve taken all the kids into care. Too much is expected from them, and the moment something goes wrong, the press jump on them. Damned is a new sitcom about social workers who are damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.
