My wife recently got the in-laws hooked on Sparticus.  I only saw bits and pieces as my wife was watching it because it was during my last and by far busiest semester of school.  The pieces I saw were almost invariably awesome, i.e., hot.

My in-laws started in on this new Sparticus mini-season or whatever, the prequel thing, and they seem to sit somewhere between indifference and disapproval.  I get the impression that they don't find it anywhere near as compelling as the first season.

AtomSmasher:
I remember when I started watching the first season I described it to my friends as "excessive".  Excessive violence, excessive sex, and excessive language...so obviously I continued watching :)  Then as the story progressed I realized it was actually a really good show and became hooked because of the story.

shmokes:
Which isn't to say it ever stopped being excessive, thank god.   :)

But of course they still watched every episode, correct?

shmokes:
I don't know, but it honestly wouldn't mean much if they did.  They were already invested in the show.  If they come away from it consistently disappointed it is failing in a major way.  Eventually they will stop watching if it doesn't improve for them (if they haven't already).  If they have continued to watch it, it is a testament to the currency the first season built up by being so good.  That the second season didn't manage to completely exhaust it doesn't mean that it was somehow good on a subconscious level for them.  It just means that they haven't got to the point where the show has gotten so bad that it outweighs their interest in the show's universe and characters.
