Man I really tried it. After the middle of the second episode I gave up.
Here are a few highlights: The acting was worse then a elementary school production of a Thanksgiving play.
Helena of Troy, was about the worst casting choice there could have been. She's about as pretty a random gas station attendant. I mean her handmaids alone were far better looking, and they stood in the same scene. So that really throws out the idea of her being the most beautiful woman in the world. This is supposed to be the face that launched a 1000 ships, and she's just average.
The accuracy is pretty off, there's more historical accuracy in Xena Warrior Princess, then in this show. Far more entertainment to.
Source material, you've had the same story for 3000 years give or take, and it's still fairly well known. You want to make Achilles a gay black rapist, ok that's your prerogative, but don't try to justify it. Call it a re-imagining.
