Too many episodes to tell the story (it dragged at times - too many episodes to tell the story) and some pretty wooden acting (e.g., virtually no chemistry between Paris and Helen - this series will make anyone wonder why the Greeks bothered at all).
Still, a classic that everyone knows the ending to; thus, a binge worthy series for an evening (and into the wee hours of the morning) without too many surprises.
Confusing sets at times. You go from opulence to cheesy Viking looking Greek ships - the series Accountant must have stepped in at some time I suppose and put the spending breaks on - fewer episodes would have been better also for this reason.
I did like the Trojan horse, pretty day glow if you ask me but a good attempt at uniqueness.
Aside: Netflix Italia viewer here. Surprised at all the negative February reviews here considering it was just released a day or so ago (April 6). BBC must have upset a lot of people for some reason, oh well, it's the English you know.
