The pressdemocrat.com site has TV's 15 Must-Watch Series of 2011.
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Lucy come in at #10. I agree with this reviewer who said that it's Lucy's best work. Lucy is just on fire as Lucretia; it IS her best work and she looks like she is enjoying it.
Lucy Mention:
There’s a lot on TV these days, and a lot of it just isn’t very good. But rising high above the muck consisting of random Kardashians, Charlie Sheen and shows made with cookie-cutter premises are 15 exceptional series that have aired this year.
10. “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” (Starz). I tried it out for the cartoonish violence and gratuitous sex. I stayed for the surprisingly compelling story and well-developed characters. Lucy Lawless put out the best performance of her career in this recently completed miniseries.
