4. Spartacus: Victory

The Roman times were certainly an era of human history that was full of blood, sweat, and conflict, which many will agree can be best encapsulated in the hit TV show, Spartacus. While every episode slowly ratcheted up the amount of sex and death shown on screen, the final episode of this tale of gladiatorial rebellion certainly did not shirk on the kill count.

After several massive defeats by the Roman armies, Spartacus and the remnants of his army were trapped near a mountain and had to choose whether to run or stay and die. Spartacus chose to die protecting those who did not wish to fight, leading a climactic battle against an overwhelming force.

The final episode is incredibly bitter-sweet, as fans had to watch several fan-favourite characters fall one by one to Roman blades. Spartacus himself came so close to defeating Crassus, the leader of the Roman army, only to be hit with three spears right in his back, finding peace as he and countless thousands died so a few dozen could finally live free.
