    It looks fun, my kids will like it. WTF is Daddarrio going to play? She's 37. Medusa?

    I do think kids will like. I don't think adults will be interested. The lead from original film seemed destined to some version of fame, but it never really happened.

    Liked the first 3 episodes as far as the cast and quality. Really good cast. BUT, this is the EXACT same damn story from the movie. Like. Exactly.

    Yea. That is kind of off putting
    Don't think I like this take on Medusa

    It's a ok show .. . . .esp without too much competition
    right now

    Man. If this is the end of season 1 - This is ssooooo anti-climatic and kind of boring.
    Doesn't feel like the adventure matched the stakes.
    all in all this is mediocre at best.

    I am thinking why is there not much source material on Percy Jackson?

    The more stuff you have, the more you can use in TV shows etc.

    Shouldn't it be some huge Children book series like Harry Potter? Maybe I am not informed well.

    I skip those steps and then I am correct.

    Someone said the series it is like a cut-rate Harry Potter.
    Evidently, it is quite a series

    While the Movie wasn't great . . .the compressed timeframe seems to have served the story better
    This long drawn-out series was at least 3~4 Episodes too long.

    It had most of the major plot points as in the movie but they were drawn out here

    It is hard to make it children friendly.....

    Remember Dementors and then when Harry got dark in the Horcruxes...

    You only have to film it with less color saturations and really dark and noire.

    Of course it would be mostly for teens and not for small children.

    • Greek tragedies are about betrayal, screwing your siblings and dark stuff like that, a lot of killings....beheadings (Medusa head but much more gore)
    • 300 stuff.
    • It is not hard but does Disney go off the rails for it.....(very unlikely)
    • The other thing is plot renewal......do it a tad differently.
