Mildly entertaining. Although patterned after the original Henson "Storyteller" series, these darker myths have little of their charm. Michael Gambon as the storyteller/narrator does an exceptional job but the stories themselves are dreary and depressing. The myths are very adult in nature and far from family friendly. Typical for Greek myths, but unless you are a fan of Greek mythology, they are not as enjoyable as the fairy tales and legends used in the first series. Filming is Ok, but the special effects as well as the sets and costuming are very simple with very dark lighting. Although not rated, this should probably be PG. Just OK. ***
