Review: The History Channel is famous for their documentary specials, but in recent years the shift has moved to serialized television shows. A lot of focus gets put on war subject matter, but last August the channel debuted a fantastic show called Clash of the Gods. Clash of the Gods delves into 10 different mythical characters and gives us an hour-long in-depth look at their history. Everything from greek and norse gods to the creatures of Tolkien and how his time in the great war inspired his epic Lord of the Rings series.
This series gives us great dramatizations and cgi graphics of various creatures, along with a high-energy commentary by narrator Stan Bernard. The series also features comments from various scholars and experts that shed some fantastic light on each god or creature.
We highly recommend this series for anyone interested in mythology. Its a lot of fun and does a fantastic job of keeping you interested the entire time.
