Using the toolkit of those "adult dramas" of so long ago, this wonderful spoof is a joy to watch. Just check out "Written on the Wind" and "The Tarnished Angels" to see how "Spoils of Babylon" got it right.
An A-list cast, ultra-widescreen cinematography , a lush opening song and miniatures that are just so mini; all come together in a story line that is more line than story.
The premise that the original 22 hour production has been cut down to 6 30 minute episodes is supposed to allow the writers to get to the heart of the story. In truth, the just got rid of the boring parts.
Production values are solid. The acting hits the right tone without being to over the top.
Fun from beginning to end.
