Atlantis Series 2 Complete Pack -

Juliet Stevenson deserved a BAFTA nomination for this. As the witch-queen of Atlantis, she chews every piece of scenery with Shakespearean menace.

Format: DVD/Blu-ray Box Set (Typically 3-4 Discs) Genre: Historical Fantasy / Family Adventure Original Network: BBC One (2013-2015) The Verdict: A Gloriously Messy, Mythological Rollercoaster If Series 1 of Atlantis was the awkward, exposition-heavy pilot episode of a D&D campaign, Series 2 is the moment the Dungeon Master throws out the rulebook, cranks up the drama, and kills off your favorite character just to see you cry. This Complete Pack is an essential, albeit flawed, purchase for fans of Merlin or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys . Atlantis Series 2 Complete Pack
