To those complaining about the skin color of some of the cast, have you ever stopped to consider that europe especially the Mediterranean wasn't always all white natively like in more modern times. (all of our ancestors migrated out of africa remember?) Darker skin tones just got bred out because well men and women always prefer fairer skin and outward beauty in the opposite sex. Also migration patterns and socio political reasons must have also contributed to Europe being so white dominated in the post classical period. So please if you want to dislike the show, do it for other reasons than Achilles being black....
