Spartecus, apparently a very riske show on cable

I only get basic cable so I don't watch some of the other supposedly really good shows that are on the non-basic access. One that I had heard about was Spartacus because it stars Lucy Lawless who I used to watch in Xena: Warrior Princess. Somehow my attention was brought to a Roman bath scene that had Lucy, some slave girls and master of whatever he is of the gladiators. Lucy Lawless is from New Zealand and one of the slave girls was played by another actress, Laura Surrich, from New Zealand who was not credited but was just listed as slave girl. I happened upon an interview by this actress who talked about that scene and some other things. In the scene she has no clothes on and her ample assets are well shown. Well in this interview that subject comes up and she says she is almost an E. The rest of her figure is slim. So perhaps that is one reason she was chosen for that particular scene in Spartacus.

I saw clips of the show and decided it wasn't for me. Personally, I think if somebody is on a show without their clothes, then the credits shouldn't list slave girl unless she prefers to have the credits state her name. I would never do that kind of role.

If you want a really good movie about Spartacus, get a clasic. Actor Kirlk Douglas (father of Michael Douglas and much more handsome) starred as Spartacus. Check it online. It is the kind of movie like the more modern Gladiator. But I think that Spartacus was better.
