It is often said that you have to get your audience by the scruff of the neck in the first 15 minutes of the first episode of a new series. Audiences are willing to give a new show a try.
Troy sends you into a coma in the first 15 minutes. They will not return for episode 2. It is a dud.
Troy: Fall of a City wants to be the BBC version of Games of Thrones. It does titillate you with some nudity and I think they have promised some violence. However they will need to wake up the audience first.
We follow our hero Paris (Louis Hunter) a young herdsman who encounters the gods as he finds out that he is the long lost son of King Priam. He embarks on a journey where he visits Sparta, gets enchanted with Helen of Troy (Bella Dayne) and her husband King Menelaus, who mentions a strategic marriage to one of his daughter's. Paris who here is a little rough around the edges sleeps with Helen.
This will not end well. Both for the people of Troy and the BBC. Another seven episodes to go.
