Just finished watching this series, a Disney+ adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, starring Walker Scobell as the titular character. I didn't know anything about Percy Jackson before watching this but I'd seen a clip or two and it looked really promising, and I'm so happy I did. The character moments, the storyline, the pacing, and the world-building! All perfect. A strong contender for my favourite show of 2024 already. Really hoping a season 2 renewal is confirmed soon - with lots of social media buzz, high ratings and very strong critic reviews, it's hard to see it not being renewed. Has anyone else watched? |

I've just finished the season and I can't help feeling a little underwhelmed by how it all ended, oop
 The first half of the season was excellent - I think they struck gold and introduced the whole world and concept perfectly. Percy as a main character is very likeable, and the cast on the whole they pretty much nailed (Luke, Annabeth and Grover are all brilliant) . All of the characters were well fleshed out and the storyline was interesting and mysterious, but then come episodes 7 and 8 it just... all rushed to resolve x, y and z in very low-stakes ways, before moving onto foreshadowing what's coming next. Percy works out Luke actually stole the bolt and Luke just... runs off to Kronos? k. They'd better be a major part of season 2 lol.Definitely going to stick with it and hope it manages to find its feet with delivering more high-stakes drama and conflict to go alongside the great character moments, because there were glimmers of it in the first few episodes then it just kind of fizzled out sadly. |
