when receiving the product I was initially confused as to the language on the actual box set but after sending an email to the sender they assured me it was in fact just the packaging that was in a different language the contents were all in English within a day so I opened and watched Hercules with great satisfaction. it was just as I remembered it but in even better quality without adverts at last lol. id definitely recommend this purchase and am looking forward to the next season from the same manufacturing company!

Kevin Sorbo refers to these episodes as season 2 because he considers the 5 telemovies to be season 1. I call the movies season 0. But anyway, thats an unimportant issue. These episodes are where I was introduced to the world of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys when they first aired on Sky 1. The show has aged surprisingly well, despite the CGI creatures (which I thought were amazing when i was younger!) looking rather stiff and dated, yet still not as namby pamby as a lot of the movies that are turning up on the SyFy channel these days.
This season picks up from where the movies left off. After a pub brawl with his best buddy Iolaus, Hercules comes home to his beloved wife and children, only to see them killed instantly by a fireball sent from the wicked goddess Hera. Hercules vows to make Hera pay for killing his family, and begins his own personal war against her, but it doesn't take him long to realise that what he does to protect mortals from the cruelty of the gods has far more meaning than anything he does out of hatred towards Hera.
Kevin Sorbo as Hercules and Michael Hurst as Iolaus have great chemistry together, you believe they really are best friends who will stick by eachother throughout anything, whether its monsters from the underworld, gladiator contests or vengeful gods. Their friendship is really put to the test when Iolaus becomes infatuated with a certain warrior princess who tries to drive the two best friends apart and have them kill eachother!
Fans of Lucy Lawless will be delighted to know that this season also introduces the character of Xena, right before she heads off to have her own adventures in Hercules' highly successful and iconic spin-off series Xena Warrior Princess.
Other highlights from this season include Hercules' battles against a seductive Medusa-like creature called the She-Demon, a towering Cyclops, the monstrous Stymphalian Bird, a demonic hellhound called Greagas, an army of ghosts and a gang of powerful centaurs. Hercules also befriends the comical aspiring business man Salmoneus, and teams up with the mighty Atalanta to battle the forces of Ares.
The packaging is slightly odd, with some weird looking creatures depicted on the front cover that don't atcually appear in any of these episodes, but if you're in the mood for a light-hearted fantasy with some gorgeous New Zealand locales, creative monster battles and lovable performances, then lose yourself in these adventures set for a few hours. Unfortunately there are no interviews or commentaries, just the episodes in their uncut glory. Suitable for family viewing; the kids will enjoy the action, monsters and humour, while the adults will appreciate the generous amounts of bare skin on display.
