has this one been done to death already?

No - every article I see on the subject looks as though it may require me to engage my brain, so I just sort of wander off looking for something with "Downton" or "Sherlock" in the title.

Oh well, now, we got "Spartacus Revenge" - lots of blood and sex! Again! Yihaa!

I was rather shocked to hear of the death of Andy Whitfield. 39 yo is pretty young to die.

I love Game of Thrones! Not much sex, though...

I thought that the female characters in that basically just spent all their time naked? (I remember reading some nerd's article insisting that this was absolutely necessary for the plot, whereas the one incident of girl-targetted fanservice was lame and gratuitous. If you're wondering how to get a girlfriend, that's how you do it, right there.)

No, not in GoT. In Spartacus, yes - but then pretty much everyone is naked all of the time and it's been pointed out that all those naked oiled muscular gladiators rubbing skin is very, erm, gay.

To be honest, I am not a huge fan of Spartacus in the sense that the plot lines are thinner than cigarette paper and the fighting style they adopt (300-like), although tolerable for single fights, isn't the kind of gritty realistic stuff I tend to favour (unless otherwise made okay by the plot). And, with regards to naked women, straight pr0n is obviously more 'targeted'. The only advantage of Spartacus in that department is that they can put some kind of scenario while pr0n doesn't really bother/isn't really allowed...
