...at this dramatized documentary. Unfortunately the dress code of the period was to extreme for the BBC to depict during prime time television, at this overall great-looking documentary. The "real" clothes the Minoan women actually wore, were connected to the worship of the "Mother Goddess" at that ancient matrilineal society. After dressing the women up with the "BBC version" of the Minoan dress code, the religious details are carefully filtered and chosen for the viewer in order to create a presentable version of that society. Considering that, I find the documentary lacking regarding several religious and cultural details. However, in every other aspect this is a great film watch. It has adventure, drama, great acting, good special effects, and it gives a good generic picture of that ancient Greek civilization. I strongly recommend it.
