Homer's classic epic poem about the travels of Odysseus after his conquest of Troy is brought to the small screen. However, the gods seize the opportunity to make Odysseus and his crew a domino in their games forcing him to take detours that add years to his trip and throw him into conflict with Circe, the Cyclops, Poseidon, and ultimately to Hades itself. Meanwhile, Odysseus' wife, Penelope, is forced to hold off suitors trying to claim his property in the thought that Odysseus has died. Nonetheless, Odysseus keeps trying to find his way back with the aid of Athena.

Enjoyed this a lot. Some of the effects are showing their age and budget, but the storyline and quality actors render any cheesiness soon forgotten.

Very interesting and captivating storyline but can't really say anything positive about the editing - in fact its downright awful!
