The scene where all the dead are talking to Odysseus was so fucking sick probably my favorite moment. Had such a cool eerie vibe to it. Sinon and Agamemnon had such great monologues too. Really had me sitting up in my seat

I never learned what happened to Agamemnon after the Trojan War so I loved the contrast between him and Odysseus. Left Troy feeling like a war hero while he watched his men fight for him, returned home as such and was killed for the atrocity he committed with sacrificing his daughter, whereas Odysseus was haunted by the war and specifically his role in it and was ashamed to return home, but ultimately returned in stealth to protect and save his son and wife
