The most glaring example of wasted potential I have seen from netflix since inside job. An incredibly fun watch with a perfectly selected cast. Almost every character was loveable and I found myself interested in relationships and tropes I usually discount. While not totally faithful to mythology it is certainly getting as close as it can while keeping their story in tact. I can immediately see how this season sets up for dionysus becoming closer to his mythological counterpart. Charming the whole way through, kept me engaged and invested in all our main characters by giving them each a nicely balanced allowance of screentime. Gives more focus to characters when they need it for big plot moments.
Have to say that dionysus, zeus and prometheus really steal the show at times and im not complaining. Dionysus especially was such a joy to watch and I found myself becoming very attached to his character early on. Watching him mature as the episodes go by is so satisfying.
I found myself very interested in the overall plot as well! Devastated we may never find out what was originally planned. I see hints of bringing in usually forgotten greek gods like the primordial gods, one of which.. being Chaos.
All round wasted potential and such a huge disappointment that this show was cancelled after only just over a month of being released. Whoever made this decision at netflix deserves to be fired.
