The Odyssey TV Series from 1997 is truer, more fun

 Things I'm liking:

• Christopher Lee's scene... that whole into the lava with the goat scene was great. The poetic language, great. 
• Monsters
• There was a sea serpent, very cool. 
• Scylla is freaky and scary. Looked 10 times cooler than the Aliens-Egg-Laying-tube-worm-tail looking one from the 2026 movie. 
• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Main guy being of Italian heritage makes him seem a lot closer than Matt Damon being Greek. 
• And the Whirlpool monster actually exists, and is awesome. Charybdis is the name.

Origins (in reverse?)

• The Dance from O Brother Where Art Thou (a super loose adaptation of the Odyssey, a fun one) seems to reference this TV series about the Odyssey from 3 years before: 
  
  
  
• From O Brother'

  From 1997 Miniseries, they nod exaggeratedly also and walk around in a big circle.
