abs-75657 I just love this show--always have, always will. Kevin Sorbo and Michael Hurst are just phenomenal together. If you have never seen this series, I feel you are truly missing out. Not only is it great fun, but you can also watch how Hercules and Iolaus grow as characters/people throughout the series, which adds to the sincerity of the characters. A lot of people complain/have complained about the anachronisms and the mixing of historical timelines in this series, but they obviously have a stick up their bum. Firstly, this series never in any way stated that it was going to be 100% historically accurate. In fact, this series would be more accurately categorized as 'historical fiction'--historical fiction is a story that is based around allegedly true events, but with an artistic or creative interpretation or spin. At any rate, you shouldn't be taking this series so seriously that you can't have fun watching it. It's just great, period.

TheLittleSongbird Ah, nostalgia. This was a show I used to watch all the time on Channel 5 on Sunday Mornings, along with The Adventures of Sinbad and Xena:Warrior Princess, and along with those two I still love it. Sure it is campy and inaccurate and it did lose its way a tad, but it sure is a lot of fun.The scenery and effects are very good, the music is cool, the writing is entertaining and the stories are epic with enough adventure to satisfy the fussiest fan. And I love the characters, they all add to the fun, as does the acting. Kevin Sorbo is great as Hercules, handsome, charismatic, charming and likable, and I loved Bruce Campbell's recurring guest star turn too.Overall, very entertaining and fun. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Daniela18 I think that this show is great. I mean, the special effects are really nothing compared to what is being seen now, but we do see some of the earlier work of WETA, who went on to kick major butt in LOTR and KK. The acting was really good, these, to me, were compacted epic movies for free on t.v. The acting was good and it was always fun to see stunt men fly through the air and Hercules beating them down.All I really have to say is, that the movies were great and the direction the show took was wonderful. Though sadly, slighted by it's cancellation at the end of 8 episodes in the 6th and final season. The show did lack some of the deeper elements found in "Xena: Warrior Princess", but I think it made a good contrast. All in all, watch the movies first, if you like them, watch the show and decide if you like it or not. To each their own and have fun, the show and the movies can be a great laugh.

lucy_lawless_fan i must admit i didn't watch Hercules until Xena Warrior Princess finished in 2001, and Hercules was in re-runs, i was missing the Greek world gods, etc... so i thought i would give Hercules a chance and i'm glad to say i LOVED it wot a great show i was missing, i'm just myth ed i couldn't of supported it while it was on our television screens:( like Xena was it is filmed in GORGEOUS New Zealand Kevin Sorbo does a GREAT job of playing Hercules and the talented Michael Hurst plays his best buddy Iolaus great action,drama,comedy,banter between these 2 guys,i miss this show and there legendary journeys i brought all 6 series on DVD and the television movies on DVD to give it a chance i'm glad i did:)
