Previous Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nicola Austin Empire Magazine With a charming central trio, an intriguing quest and plenty of magical moments, this faithful reboot is a fun (if familiar) family-friendly fantasy. 3/5 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Leila Latif Guardian We’re off to an encouraging start! 3/5 Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Craig Mathieson Sydney Morning Herald What I like most about this adaptation of the first novel in Rick Riordan’s best-selling fantasy series is that it speaks to the audience the books were written for: younger primary school students. 3/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joey Rambles Cultured Vultures It may please die-hard fans of the books, but this Percy Jackson adaptation could’ve been so much more memorable had the characters been more likable, the episodes more exciting, and the humor more effective. 5.5/10 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Adrian Ruiz But Why Tho? A Geek Community Despite its compelling source material, a talented cast, and the allure of Greek mythology, the series struggles to break free from the shackles of lackluster exposition-driven dialogue, inconsistent CGI, and a failure to realize its characters’ journeys. Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) J. Shruti Film Companion Percy still manages to be an edge-of-the-seat comfort watch.

Previous Audrey E I loved this show so much! The acting was great (especially Leah, Walker, Aryan and Virgina), the changes from the original story were mostly improvements, and the world felt interesting and engaging. My only complaint is the pacing is sometimes bogged down by exposition but since this season has to do SO much worldbuilding I expect the subsequent seasons to be even better. Rated 4.5/5 Stars Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Katelyn K A million times better than the failed movie adaptations. Yes there are changes from the books, but overall the changes just enhanced the story further. The cast is perfect for their roles and greatly encapsulate the characters from the books i’ve loved since childhood. I can’t wait for season two!! Rated 5/5 Stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Shawn A Great show. Definitely aimed towards kids Rated 4/5 Stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Ronald H Good show, but it could be better, far better than this. They can improve a lot. Rated 3.5/5 Stars Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Sevlow r To many things cut that are necessary for character development and if they were added in. It feels like a afterthought. Scene and transitions were choppy and out of place. CGI choices on what to use it on was terrible. Writing is terrible. Season two better take all the critiques that everyone is saying. Or I will probably not watch more. Rated 2/5 Stars Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Louis B Well, you see, measured on the amount of scenes of the book that were in the series, it could be titled as a faithful adaption. But measured on how they executed these scenes, it was just awful.There was no reason to remove all excitement and tension from the scenes, but however, they made the series boring af. Why and how do they know they are entering Medusas garden? Why are they avoiding the Lotus Flowers in the casino and how could they even know that they blind your senses? How do they recognize any thread before facing it? How do they know Crusty is the shop owner before even entering the shop? They are kids, 12 years old, and in contrary to the movie they are even cast as such. They should be naive, not omniscient, they should be brave but frightened, not thoughened up, and they should be a team! Not an Annabeth, who is pessimistic, all-knowing and always in a bad mood; not a Percy who is shown as kinda dumb and not remotely close to the cheeky, daredevil kind of guy in the movie and books, and not a grover who doesnt eat cans, is mentally younger than anyone and not even close to being a protector like he should be.The characters are written so badly you cant build up any relationship to them, and they also don't really make a great team at all. The best characters are the ones not in the spotlight like Mr. D, Clarisse, Ares and Percys Mother. And thats it.Even the movie, though it had nothing much to so with the books, executed the Medusa and Lotus scene so much better than the series. They had great characters with souls and great development, and just such a good vibe to it. And that said, I hated the movie for neglecting the book. But the series took every bit of excitement away and made it dull through bad written scenes and characters.
