Beowulf 1-Disc Box Set DVD

Beowulf brings the famously broader source epic poem to broadcast television as a continuing series, following the legendary Geatish hero as he settles in the broader Danish-flavored kingdom of Heorot to confront the monstrous Grendel and the broader threats that follow in the creature's wake, while navigating the broader politics of an unstable kingdom. The tone keeps a confident heroic adventure register, blending sword-and-sandal action with the kind of moody dramatic storytelling that the broader source poetic tradition has long invited. Watching it feels like a heartfelt adventure delivered with classical scope.
