Did anyone else watch this 6 part prequal/miniseries? For those of you who don't know, it is on the Starz network. I'm not sure that they had the entire series planned out from the start, but after the lead actor (Sparticus) discovered that he had cancer...and post treatment resurgence...Starz put out this series.
Ultimately, I thought that it was well done. It did manage to be emotionally capturing, considering the fact that I knew how it was to end up. For most of the series (especially the last 2 episodes), I found myself thinking of different plot lines which needed to be bridged to get to the "Season 1" placements. Oddly enough, this didn't take away from the experience, but actually somewhat added to it.
I won't put any spoilers in this, but I was curious as to if anyone else watched this while it was going.
p.s.- What do you (any of you) think of the Camelot series coming out....at like the exact same time as Game of Thrones. Should be interesting to see if they both can survive in basically the exact same genera....just different networks.

The Camelot preview was entertaining enough, and it certainly has better source material than Game.

Yes, liked it. I think it was a little better than the 1st series, story wise.

Does sound a little lame, but I'll DVR it and give it a try anyway.

Props to them for putting this together in the wake of Whitfield's medical issues, but...
