Greek Street

review 1: This is not very good--a bit too violent for my taste, but the worse problem is the lack of understanding of Greek tragedy, characters, and themes. You can't just tack some Greek names on modern characters, give each one a single incidental attribute of the original, and call it a successful adaption. I was hoping for slightly deeper wrestlings with the issues of fate and free will, betrayal and loyalty, etc. These are what make the Greek stuff great and are certainly still relevant today.
review 2: A reasonably interesting and dramatic opening. The concept here is rather old: redo old Greek tragedies in a contemporary setting and build a unified supernatural thriller out of them. The most obvious point here is that the tragedies of old are every bit as effecti... moreve now as they were during the ancient times. What remains to be seen is weather they will be utilized in a way that will make this series stand on its own. less
