Not at all. He was very interesting. He had a whole crew of badasses going by the end of Season 2. He was the smartest of all the gladiators and had powerful connections, which is how he was going to be getting his own ludus and freedom. That alone makes him worthy of being star of a show. He's a schemer like Batiatus, and will need to compete against other powerful Romans who see him as an unworthy upstart slave. They'll want to kill him off and take his shit. There's zero other characters as interesting to make a show about and I'm really interested to see where they take it. I've seen the actor in other shows and he always elevates it.
