I really enjoyed this series which aired on PBS. The series covers much of the history around each Myth/Hero. The travels of Mr. Wood, related artifacts explained, and the footage seen in the series are a wonderful addition! Definitely recommended for history buffs, AND for classroom presentation to students. This is a very good series for everyone, really. The stories are well explained and shown on maps, so you don't need to be an expert on history or geography to understand and appreciate this series.
The music/soundtrack is excellent and very well done!
My only disappointment is that there aren't more episodes.

Helen Mirren truly shines as Queen Elizabeth I. All of the cast members are excellent, especially Jeremy Irons and Hugh Dancy.
I do not know how accurate this miniseries is with respect to all of the events that were happening at this time (circa 1589), but the characters were all portrayed in a totally believable and brilliant manner. The costumes were wonderful! Helen Mirren, I believe, gave the performance of a lifetime as the incredibly complex Queen, a daughter of Henry the VIII.
I think this is one of the most intense, brilliant, and wonderful miniseries produced. Sit back and prepared to be swept away to the 16th century. A most memorable miniseries! I rarely give a 10 out of 10 possible points but this miniseries truly is deserving!
