Is a grand scale movie that could easily been made for the big screen, but as a made for TV mini-series it really exells in every way of production values.From the adaptation of the story to the props. The cast is made of terrific actors from many countries, even if they're not celebrities, they're far more talented than those who have made it big in Hollywood.The sex and violence are there but they're NOT extremely graphic, and everything was tastefully done.Is a visual feast and the directors and producers really went out of their way to visualy bring this old world back to us in every aspect you see from the sets, costumes, props, etc.All lovers of the ancient Greek tales and mythology should own a copy or at least watch it.
