Spartacus: House of Ashur

Season 1 of Spartacus: House of Ashur is here, because apparently the characters still had unfinished business. It leans into Action / Drama, where things explode, plans go sideways, and sensible risk assessment has apparently taken the afternoon off. The rating says it has enough going for it to justify a look, provided the premise is your kind of trouble. The formula is familiar, but that is not automatically a crime; sometimes you want a series to know its job, turn up on time, and get on with it.
