Spartacus: Blood and Sand (DVD, historical fiction, starz)

I gave up after four episodes, surprised that I lasted that long after the overwhelming dumbness of the first episode.  My friend said, "it's the UFC with gladiator costumes," which is accurate, but leaves out the corny soft-core porn. 
I hardly expect television and movies to stick with what we actually know about historical characters, but I do expect them to have better music and a lucid storyline.  The series is kind of like a graphic novel or a cartoon, but just no good.  I didn't care.
