Louis Hunter is hot and that is the only redeeming aspect of this show. Hahahaha!

This series tells the story of the fall of Troy, decidedly from the Trojan standpoint. Maybe they thought they would counterbalance the accounts that were all written by Greeks, who come off as nasty, grump bad guys in this version. Yet except for fanciful license about the goings on in Troy, it doesn't deviate as badly from Homer as most other accounts. Parts are very well done, others are ridiculous. But what makes no sense is the multicultural cast. In this rendition, Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Greeks, is black. We can allow for this insofar as Shakespeare and classical theater are done like this but in a movie it is simply inauthentic and contrived. Helen as portrayed here isn't beautiful enough to launch a rowboat, let alone 1000 ships. The production values are not bad and there is some historical accuracy which makes the rest puzzling. Finally since it is told from the Trojan viewpoint it all goes bad for them in the end, very bad, so it is more of a tragedy.

Here in Serbia we studied Iliad and Odyssey in high school. I honestly don't know what to think of this, so many characters ruined. Will have to read epos again. Need to delete this from my brain. :'(This should have been random story with fake names, - stupid actions.

I'm not going to spend my time in this garbage serie or on this review so I'm going to keep it short. TERRIBLE acting, script, acting, lack of sets lack of decoration.
