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

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.
Have we heard anything about continuing the series? I can't remember seeing anything.
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 agree here. It was a good back story for the first series and helped us to understand the characters and their motivations from season one. I found the story a little more appealing this time around as well.
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.
Watched this teaser first episode and thought it was ok. I think the casting works better for Game of Thrones, at least in my mind, so I'm more excited for it than Camelot. I DO NOT like the kid they chose for Arthur. Morgan and Lot are good choices, I'm still deciding if I like Fiennes as Merlin. I'll give them both a try I suppose.

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

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...
