Peter Mensah: 'Spartacus' finale is best episode yet
It's little wonder that Starz' freshman melodrama, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand," has become a breakout hit for the cable network.
Over the course of the sword-and-sandal epic's 12 episodes aired so far, Steven S. DeKnight and his team of writers have offered up twisted sexual liaisons, political intrigue and, most notably of all, blood-drenched action. They've created true destination TV, an addictive hour that appeals to both the intellect and, well, our more base needs.
According to star Peter Mensah, the season finale airing at 9 p.m. Friday brings together all the best elements of the series.
