After two series of bloodshed and bonking, you’d have thought that all heads had been hacked and all breasts had been bared. But here we are again, back with the freed slaves who have fled following the collapse of the House of Batiatus. Within minutes, the faces of Roman soldiers are being ground against rocks, slow-mo orgy scenes are culminating in extreme violence and po-faced characters are delivering lines like “We must stand as one or fall divided”. OTT doesn’t even begin to cover it.
