It's pretty cute and dresses up class politics with Greek mythology. The world building is pretty good. It's modern day society if the Greek pantheon were real.

spoiler

Zeus became addicted to consuming souls after killing Cronus. He industrialized the consumption of human souls. The gods dress up this horrifying fact with bread & circuses and lies about how the system works.

Zeus hears a prophecy that his reign will end and starts acting out. He starts killing humans in order to re-establish his dominance. Humans start to rebel against the gods.

One of the main characters (Caeneus) is an Amazonian who was kicked out after transitioning from girl to boy. So the show does little things like that which reflect the original mythology but puts it in modern terms.

Orpheus is Ed Sheeran. Prometheus and Charon are lovers. The underworld is a labor camp for people who weren't buried with their coins.

I've only seen bits and pieces but I thoroughly enjoyed what I saw. I think my favorite part is that I can't identify it as an adaptation of any one myth.

Shame it got cancelled but Netflix gonna Netflix.

I liked it. It’s a shame season 2 got cancelled, but honestly I’m not even mad at Netflix on this one I’m mad at the writers for not realizing that would happen and leaving on a cliffhanger

No shit it got cancelled are you kidding me? I could’ve told you that before I watched the first episode. Netflix hates making multiple seasons, and they’ll only be dragged kicking and screaming into it for things Stranger Things whose audience is “basically everyone”

Obviously it was gonna get cancelled, and honestly this wasn’t a show that needed a season 2 anyway. You should’ve just actually wrapped up the story in one go, give us an actual ending instead of throwing that away for insane hopes of getting renewed.

Also I think production companies should be required to give a 1 season notice before cancellation. Either you order one season and it ends solidly, or you start by ordering two and whenever you decide to cancel it they get one more to wrap shit up. I’m so sick of these cancelled shows with no endings.

A story comes in 3 parts, a beginning, a middle, and an end. Give me the end god damnit.

I watched it because Dr Eleanor Janega said it was one of her favourite things of 2024. I liked it.

I liked it, Jeff Goldblum is always great but of course Netflix already canceled season 2

I finished season 1 about two weeks ago and thought it was great. I went into it knowing it was already canceled and there would be no season 2, but after finishing it I'm disappointed that the story will never have its ending.

Really great cast, and I think it did an excellent job of taking classical Greek mythos into modern times.
