剧集讲述斯巴达克斯从奴隶变成英雄的血泪辛酸史。被罗马人背叛，流放成奴隶，变为角斗士--这一段罗马共和国历史上最富盛名的传奇故事无人不知，不过整个拍成如此精细的电视剧还是第一次。
想象一部集合《罗马 Rome》的裸露、《角斗士 Gladiator》的暴力角斗场和《300》的血腥画面的剧集会是什么样子，Starz电视台就将给我们带来这部震惊四座的大尺度巨作《斯巴达克斯:血与沙 Spartacus:Blood and Sand》。

They're cute, they're happy, they're cuddly, they love life, and they die in the most gruesome ways - every single episode. Meet Cuddles the rabbit, Flakey the dandruff-ridden porcupine, Sniffles the brainy anteater, Lumpy the moose, Toothy the beaver, Giggles the Chipmunk, Handy the handless carpenter beaver, Petunia the sweet-smelling skunk, Nutty the glass-eyed sweets-loving squirrel, Splendid the flying super-squirrel, Russell the pirate, the ever-dancing Disco Bear, Flippy the war veteran bear with constant flashbacks, Pop the pipe-smoking father bear and his cub Cub, Lifty the kleptomaic raccoon, Shifty, his partner in crime and of course the Mole - also blind as one. Together, they experience life at its worst in their cute little world. And they teach us all a lesson of what can go wrong, no matter how cute you are or how hard you try.
