iannicholson I like this show. A lot. It has good story lines with likeable characters. True, the writers have taken a LOT of 'artistic license' in weaving mythological characters into the story, but if you take it all with a grain of salt, it's still very entertaining. For me, the most bemusing aspect of this show is that it's main character, Jason, is mysteriously transported from the 21st century to ancient Atlantis, but appears to have forgotten everything about the 21st century! Even his initial Yorkshire accent disappears! I'm surprised he never mentions or uses any 21st century knowledge to solve or overcome any challenges. After episode 1, there's never a hint or mention of the fact he's even from the 21st century. Still, it doesn't detract from the enjoyment. Good performances from all, but especially from Sarah Parish as the deliciously evil and manipulative Pasiphae.

leilamgd-73030 I've only recently found this series, so I have watched all episodes and I have mixed feelings about it. Overall I was a bit disapointed that they rushed some of the episodes. They put a lot of events in each episode, don't explore some characters and plotlines, and sometimes, in between episodes, I got the idea that they've skipped time and events. Everything happened too fast... The fact that they've twisted a bit the mithology doesn't bother me at all (except for the fact that Jason SHOULDN'T have stayed with Ariadne!). It's just mithology, and if other reviewers are so bothered about it, they should just tune in to a documentaries channel! Overall I think that it had potential, but the final episodes were very disappointing.

jan-maska I do not really care for details, neither I'm going to base my opinion on factual and historical mistakes or logical fallacies. Truth is, this show makes complete mess of its topic. Die-hard fans are going to argue that it's "just a show", but at the same time they'll meticulously replicate costumes from this show in a cosplay, and rain fire and sulfur on anyone who doesn't get ALL the details perfectly right.It's ridiculous and pointless, much like the lineup of the show. Modern TV and film have already made a huge mess of various adaptations. Greek mythology is beautiful the way it is. Trying to reinvent it destroys not only the beauty but morality of the stories as well. This lightweight TV show manages to go even one step beyond ridiculous mess: it mixes mythological characters with historic ones, places them into a completely wrong timeline at completely wrong locations.. I could go on and on. But yes, it is "just a show". It's here, and will be gone and forgotten soon. Greek mythology will survive even this attempt at reimaging it, and will remain, like it has for several thousand years.

Shopaholic35 This show is actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Each episode is interesting and based on a different ancient Greek mythological legend. I don't really care if it's historically accurate because it's interesting and good entertainment. Besides it's nice to see a different take on each character. Who says Hercules couldn't be a fat lazy drunk. Sometimes a reputation can be born from one lucky moment but that doesn't mean that is who they truly were.So give the show a chance if you enjoy fantasy shows with a historical edge. It may not be realistic but nobody really knows the truth for sure so maybe it could be true. It's also nice to see something that isn't so serious. I'm getting pretty bored with watching shows about terrorists and murderers. You can delve into a new world for an hour and forget about real world tragedies.
