‘Spartacus: House of Ashur’ Premiere Recap – Back Like It Never Left
Spartacus: House of Ashur is a story about second chances. For one thing, it’s a return to Starz’s beloved, ridiculous historical epic, one of the shows on which the platform built its reputation for blood by the bucket-load and boobs by the barrel.
‘Sheriff Country’ Episode 7 Recap – Things Aren’t Done Between Mickey and Travis
