Helen of Troy
How to you rate Helen of Troy? This is the English version and is NOT to be confused with 'Troy' and Brad Pitt. One person was turned off by their lack of interest in the accuracy in exchange for effects when he added...
"The fact that the producers of this show used a BLONDE as Helen of Troy gives you some idea about the care put towards history and depth in this interpretation.
In fact, NO ONE looked Greek or Trojan. Shall I even point out it is known that Troy was part of Asia Minor, which is modern day Turkey? How many BLONDE mid easterners do you personally know?"

Sienna Guillory .... Helen
Matthew Marsden .... Paris
Rufus Sewell .... Agamemnon
Actually I thought the same thing, how come they chose a blonde for the show! Anyhow, the mini-series was good although wow...so much blood! don't you all think?. Some of the actors were really good but they failed in making them look like more 'real' people.
