Where can I find Blood and Sand?

Where/How can I watch Spartacus: Blood and Sand?

Having seen Gods of the Arena, now I wanna see Blood and Sand. Can't seem to get it on Netflix or Hulu. What other options are there?

You can buy it on iTunes. Most premium cable shows don't come to Netflix until they've been out for a while, and they pretty much never come to Hulu, so if you want it legally, you're going to have to pay for it, either by subscribing to cable or by buying the episodes.

that's weird, as i have two options on netflix. streaming, and discs.

you might be able to get it if you subscribe to starz. they might have it on their starz on demand.

Actually, Amazon seems to have it cheaper, so you might go there first.

It's on Amazon VOD or the Itunes store.

B&S was available at one time instant view, weird. You can still get the 4 DVDs via Netflix snailmail for Blood and Sand.

You can also torrent it if you aren't against illegally downloading shows and movies. Thepiratebay.org is a good place to start if you have never torrented before.

DVDs, Blu-Rays both exist for the series.

Response by poster: I should have specified instant view, which is what I prefer. I understand that things often take time to become available, but as Gods of the Arena is already easily available everywhere I look, and it only just ended, I wrongly thought that Blood and Sand would too, especially since it was older.

Best answer: I suspect the distributors strategically pull titles from netflix streaming now and then to boost dvd sales. So when Gods of the Arena came out they temporarily pulled B&S so that people just finding the show would go out and buy the DVD out of impatience. It would be interesting to know how successful this is.
