mvenkata_ramesh Good for Teenagers those who have just crossed puberty & for house wives. For professional women and Male adults it is a time killing series, when there are know other shows to watch. Good for those first time watching the Greece Mythology shows. It gives some knowledge about Greece Gods and magic existing in the ancient times.Over all it is not a bad nor boring/disgusting series. My rating here is as a teenager is 8, and as an adult it is 7.

bamiwin This series is a bit under-rated. While it is definitely not a perfect effort, my patience was rewarded for continuing to watch. Watch this series for the strength of it's plot-arc, pacing and very creative world-building. Cons: I almost stopped watching in the first couple episodes.The script has rough character portrayal, that I could not always completely accept. The technical quality of the visual effect is average. And I felt that dialogue was lack-luster and character motivation bounced a bit between believable, murky and inconsistent.Pros: There were some genuinely good dramatic performances in the series. And generally, I felt acting performances were good given the script. The story continuously took unexpected turns in a good way (not to be confused with character portrayal). And the artistic quality of the visuals is high. Kudos to the design artists.Up to this point, I would give the series 5 or maybe 5 1.2 stars: average. But where the series really shines is in it's pacing and plot arc. The pacing was terrific. It started slow and accelerated wonderfully to the final climax. The plot arc took what might have been a typical Greek-mythos re-hash and did something quite surprising and enjoyable with. Comclusion: Watch this series for the strength of it's plot-arc, pacing and very creative world-building. And to give my opinion on a common criticism, I had no real complaint about blue-screening and sound- stages, because while I noticed them, they were not bad. Just...noticeable, compared to so many of today's high-budget, thin- plotted graphical productions.

erik wiegardt You have never seen anything like it. I've read the reviews by the professional reviewers who apparently do not like to think, or are incapable of it, while they watch a TV show. They're very wrong.The problem is that you have to work your way through 9-10 episodes before you get to the genius stuff. And, some times the set is reminiscent of a stage play. But, if you like to think about the origins of civilization, religion, and philosophy in the western world this is as good as it gets.I'm not just a happy viewer I am also the headmaster at an online school of ancient philosophy, and although there are many names you will recognize from Greek history and mythology, the stories are not the same. The writer/director N. Willing has a better story.Yes, it's fantasy, but it also weaves in just about every thought you have ever had about the truly deep questions of life, and then some.

writetopcat Overall I like the show. It is an interesting story, a fantasy related to Greek mythology. To follow the story however it is critical that one is able to understand what each character is saying when he or she delivers their lines. One character consistently mucks this up: Daedalus. Mr Frewer does a good job overall playing his role. However, the breathy delivery he gives his lines makes them extremely difficult to understand. He means to convey the wonder of his discoveries and realizations by this breathy speech, but he overdoes it. The effect this has upon viewers is not what the director no doubt hopes for; instead of perceiving a sense of awe or wonder the viewer experiences frustration at not being able to understand what might be an important point. Even if it were possible to understand the lines, using this breathy speech would be an effective technique only if used sparingly. But Daedalus rarely says anything without dropping all tone from his voice in the last half of each sentence (causing viewers to strain to try to make out what he is saying). Not everything he says is an earth shattering discovery of science or wisdom. But the director has him deliver nearly all his lines the same. It is a lazy and cheap way to act the role. It isn't necessary to speak in a raspy, whisper to convey a sense of wonder or an experience of some epiphany. And it greatly detracts from the performance of an otherwise interesting character and the understanding of the storyline. For this reason primarily I am giving this show only a 4.I have one other main criticism of this show. The title of the show and the names of the main characters suggest that the story is a retelling of or perhaps merging of Greek myths. That is the hook which tricks viewers into watching the show. But the show is actually a vehicle for promoting the neo-religion which worships "Gaia", the 'Earth Mother" god. Gaia is a recent invention of the environmentalist movement. The message is that there is no God, no heaven but what you make of your time in this physical world, and spiritual beliefs are merely illusions which will disappoint you. Science is the path to wisdom and the only valid religion is allegiance to the religion of environmentalism represented by Gaia, the earth mother. In this, the show mimics the recent trend in education of debunking traditional beliefs and values and implanting of religious devotion to humanist and environmentalist dogma. This is most easily accomplished by co-opting well known myths, then altering them to fit a preferred ideology. Nobody likes to be lied to, and the implied promise of a retelling of Greek myths is broken. Why do so many reviewers give this show such low ratings? Could it be that nobody likes to be lied to?
