I'm guessing that if you have no knowledge of Greek mythology the characters and plot might not grab you. I thought that the show was great, but then I know who Sargon of Akkad was so I'm kind of weird.
What? What? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? It's one of the best shows I've seen in ages - that's absolutely ridiculous. Who makes these goddam stupid decisions?

Okay, then let's agree to disagree. :cool:
I finished the first season: loved the last 15 minutes or so, but can 'only' give the show a 7.5/10. Something was missing for me. Wouldn't mind another season, but won't be too sad if they don't renew it.

You have no respect for your forefathers, you don't use tradition as a framework to bind you to reason which even someone like Hannah Arendt would say is necessary. By freely allowing tradition to be destroyed in comedy, absurdity and for political purposes you will drift into 1984-style joy over an increase in chocolate rations.
So reduce artistic freedom to what?, documentaries and reality tv? - Because if you go down that rabbit hole, not much will be left.
Of course, respect has to be given to the origin of the stories adapted...but I didn't see anything in this show that looked "purposefully" disrespectfull or provoking.

I have lots of respect for my forefathers. (How can you not, seeing all that humanity has achieved? )
But that doesn't mean I think we should continue to do everything the same way they did, just because it's tradition. And comedy can be a good way to question tradition.

Just fyi this is a british show, not american. Would you have watched it, if it were created and produced in greek and by a greek studio? Tbh don't think we would've gotten the same quality of television.
American money produced it, American publisher published it, draw is Jeff Goldblum who is Jewish/American. Key theme is an issue that is overwhelmingly American that fills a lot in American media and very little elsewhere in comparison. What you think of to make it "British" is just the filler around the fact that it's basically American.

How exactly did they "destroy" it? I think, considering old pantheons, it was one of the better adaptions. On the level of American Gods even.
I rest my case. Hollywood and its tentacles takes mythology and it shits allover it, every single case. From Disney/Marvel to something like this.
