Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Adrian Sweeney A naïve and straight-laced Englishman travels to Cyprus after his brother is killed there and is entangled in the shenanigans of mysterious plotters. I suspect this may be too slow-paced and tame for many who are more at home with slam-bang modern thrillers but I found it very enjoyable. It's well-plotted, continually intriguing, very tense at times, and features an enigmatic beauty (Alexandra Bastedo) and Brian Blessed on top form. The daring and unconventional twist slowly dawned on me towards the end, but the final episode was still jaw-dropping and contained an additional, 'easter-egg' and very pleasing surprise that strikes me as ahead of its time. There's romance, local colour, thugs in vintage Mercedes, and, warning, an evocative theme tune you just can't get out of your head.

Iulia-Vespasia Excellent series, imaginative storyline yet the idea of the Gods still coming to the aid of humans is as believable now as it was 2000 years ago. The idea that work done on one of the many building sites could uncover an ancient tomb is the stuff of dreams yet is also possible given that with the passage of time these things have been forgotten about with the coming of Christianity. The old beliefs and practices which made so much sense all those centuries ago have been long forgotten about but a series like this reminds us that once the Gods were seen as being very human in their personifications. Much more believable and likable than an omnipotent but never seen or heard God. They portray all the desires and behavioral traits of humans but with the divine added in. Should be on everyones 'must watch list'. Wish there were more series like this around, brilliant storyline without all the bad language, , guts and unnecessary that 'distinguishes' modern programmes. Well worth watching and true to the book.
