Spartacus was definitely pulpy. It was also very soapy. Its success at integrating soap opera structure and storytelling with pulp themes might be a case study in why purer forms of pulp are so rare now. There is no reason not to hybridize it with other forms of entertainment in order to reach a broader audience or to more effectively keep the current audience engaged. This is especially important for visual media because it takes a long time to make; the fast pace of production that the original pulps were known for is simply not possible in television or videogames.
