Troy Fall of a City Trailer
It’s clear that this show is going for theGame of Thronesapproach of sex-and-swords, which is fine. But yeesh, why is the cinematographyso darkhere? The first few shots of the trailer are blanketed in almost impenetrable darkness. I get that they didn’t have bright fluorescent lights in 12th Century BC, but the murkiness on display here is a bit much.
Troy: Fall of a Citybegan its life as a BBC One show, and has already aired in the UK, so it’s nottechnicallya Netflix original – it’s what Netflix refers to as an “Global original ex-UK” series. That said, it will still receive the Netflix original treatment, which means it’ll be buried along with Netflix’s hundreds of other original shows and films. Netflix wants it all, folks. They’re planning to release700 original moviesand TV shows this year alone.Troy: Fall of a Cityseries featuresLouis Hunter,Bella Dayne,David Threlfall,Frances O’Connor,Tom Weston-Jones,Joseph Mawle,Chloe PirrieandJohnny Harris, and runs for six episodes.
