What better way to warm yourself up a bit during cold winter nights than with some scantily clad Greek warriors and princesses, starting next Saturday, February 17th, when British BBC will start airing TROY: FALL OF A CITY, eight episode brand new epic television series!

TROY: FALL OF A CITY
an epic tale of mortals and gods, has a psychologically rich and sweeping narrative which goes back to the story’s origins: to the judgement of Paris, his

WHAT DID THE SPY THINK? 

Terribly miscast in almost all of the roles, with a lot of uninspired performances and lack of any appealing or likeable characters, the series

The princes of Troy with their partners Helena and Andromache

is excruciatingly slow paced and lacking in dynamics and spark. It is visually pretty, though, with BBC scoring high visual quality. Tom Weston Jones and Louis Hunter are the eye catching elements in the series.
