For now I just have two shows,will maybe be back for more. Also,I suck at explaining,sorry ^^

Spartacus: (three seasons,one prequel)

It ended in January but technically it wasn't really cancelled,it was meant to be the last season and it ended that way.
Spartacus has lots of pretty people (which is not the biggest reason to watch it but I'm mentioning it first as the first episodes are kind of really bad and I only kept on watching for shallow reasons *lol*), the greatest characters who almost all have so much depth and development and especially the female characters are SO great. Seriously,this show features some of the best written female characters I've ever seen <3 Also several super awesome gay characters (and same sex couples) who are treated completely equally as the other characters,the acting is brilliant (Lucy Lawless in in it or John Hannah,to name some more well known actors. But the ~newcomers are equally great) and just when you think this show is just a silly,guilty pleasure you will learn that Spartacus is one of the best shows ever and will give you all the feelings!

Oh,and if you decide to watch it (WHICH YOU TOTALLY SHOULD) then in this order 1. Blood and Sand 2. Gods of the Arena (it's the prequel and comes before Blood and Sand timeline wise but it's better to watch it after B&S!) 3. Vengeance 4. War of the Damned

Hannibal: (first season literally just finished,renewed for a second season)

Best new show of the season and IMO also one of the best in a long time. It's incredibly beautiful (and it's done in a way that makes the gore more bearable IMO),so well acted - seriously,Mads Mikkelsen who plays Hannibal and Hugh Dancy as Will Graham deserve ALL THE AWARDS - and it just sucks you right now. Also,the fandom is the best and always comes up with the most creative and hilarious things :D

I keep hearing AWESOME things about Spartacus from everyone who's watched it - I wish it were streaming on netflix.
Thanks for the tip on what order to watch it in.

Spartacus is fantastic! Seriously.
It is pretty gory from time to time, but the writing is excellent and the actors are good (and hot :-D ) and the series finale was one of the best finales I have ever seen.

So...watch it, you won't regret it! :-)

Btw. the first few epis up until 4 or so are a bit slow...but then it is getting really really GOOD!

I really need to watch Hannibal! Cannibals gross me out though. It's a mental hurdle.

SPARTACUS!!!!
