I also actually like this take on ancient affairs. Like another reviewer I believe this is a very easy to watch fantasy. It has good humour. It sets out to be so improbable that it is actually fun to view and a bit like but in mo way as good as a Red Dwarf version of Star Trek. The acting is not wooden at all. A lovely variety of actors and Mark Addy as Hercules sums it up really. Unlike other programmes that set out to portray their own take on books or events, like the new yet hopelessly unreal version of Dracula, this knock about drama is not a serious look at Greek mythology. We have watched all the episodes and will continue to do so while the would be pundits that knock this program go and look at Dracula - now that is a 'serious' take on Draclua yet so unlike the book!
