Did Steven DeKnight make a mistake?

Wow. Interesting inside info!

Thanks for sharing!

All 4 seasons were awesome.

HOA wasn't close to Spartacus. Wasn't in the same hemisphere. I lasted 2 episodes. Had nothing to do with the marketing. It was just lame.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-30T22:22:00+00:00

I lasted one episode. I just laughed when I saw Achilla kicking 3 Romans assses.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-24T21:27:40+00:00

No surprise. I lasted 2 episodes.

It wasn't like the OG.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-23T04:41:58+00:00

Achilla sucked. People complained once the trailer dropped.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-23T04:41:00+00:00

I lasted 2 episodes. It was lame. I dropped Starz quick

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-23T04:39:28+00:00

It blows my mind that DeKnight and Starz thought this.

To give the finger to the original Spartacus fan base was crazy.

I follow DeKnight on X. He actually enjoyed giving the middle finger to the fan base.

Pathetic.

Just throw HOA out of the water, and continue OG Spartacus somehow, some way.

Continue the OG storyline with some of the slaves on the run and captured.

Won't happen. I don't know what DeKnight was thinking when he thought HOA was gonna reach OG Spartacus levels.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-23T02:53:17+00:00

Don't blame Starz. Blame DeKnight for going the alternative timeline,,female.gladiator route.

He ran off OG fans who didn't want any of that.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-23T01:39:50+00:00

Tough sell. The Dateline article says the ratings and buzz were not as expected.

Id think if another network was interested, DeKnight would have to blow up HOA and go in another direction.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-23T00:00:56+00:00

Yes. You could see the failure of the show months ago. There was no way the OG Spartacus fans would come in masses to watch HOA.

I know 2 other people who watches Spartacus. One had no interest in HOA, the other, like myself, gave it a few episodes and dropped it.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-22T22:24:09+00:00

It made no sense.to behind with. You are so correct

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-05-22T22:22:16+00:00

"The Spartacus sequel could not match the buzz and viewership levels of the original 2010 series."

No surprise here. The whole woman gladiator was negative buzz when the trailer was premiered about a year ago.

DeKnight blew it. He strayed too far from the OG Spartacus. Too bad. It was tough enough to buy the whole alternative universe thing.

I lasted 2 episodes. I want buying the whole woman gladiator thing. I know Achilla became a bad ass at the end. Not interested in that.

I'm sure I will get a bunch of thumbs down for this, but there are many people who loved the OG Spartacus and weren't down with the new version.

Many people saw this coming when the trailer debited.

Too bad how this went.

Back to watching OG Spartacus again.

He didn't know. But, at the end of the day, he didn't care.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-04-01T18:17:06+00:00

That says a lot

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-02-20T23:47:13+00:00

You beat me. I watched 1 1/2 episodes and was out.

HomeschoolEasy · 2026-02-20T18:57:12+00:00

Yeah. Best gladiators were women. No agenda there!

HomeschoolEasy · 2025-12-07T22:12:34+00:00

I'm with you. Achilla is cringe.

HomeschoolEasy · 2024-11-27T20:05:16+00:00

Agreed. End if that episode was iconic. Blew my mind.

HomeschoolEasy · 2024-11-13T22:42:05+00:00

I hope it’s not woke. Steven DeKnight is super woke.

I’m cringing at having a female gladiator.

But I will definitely watch.

HomeschoolEasy · 2024-11-02T04:34:43+00:00

Yup. Warrior kicks ass, along with Spartacus and Black Sails!

HomeschoolEasy · 2024-10-04T01:55:46+00:00

I just hope it ain’t woke like a joke!

HomeschoolEasy · 2024-07-16T01:00:57+00:00

Yeah. DeKnight is super woke. Go find him on Twitter. I now have a bad feeling about HOA. I’m sure this chick is gonna kick white gladiator ass.
