Having read and loved all the books (and even enjoying the films to some extent), I had high expectations for the new series adaptation.

However, upon finishing the first season, I couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed. There seemed to be so much potential for exciting scenes, thrilling moments, and epic action sequences, yet the entire first season fell short in delivering them. Many fans, myself included, found ourselves eagerly anticipating major developments in several episodes, only to be met with a lack of significant action.

Even the most memorable scenes from the books felt watered down, lacking the challenge and excitement they originally possessed. There were no spectacular moves or thrilling fights to be found.

While I understand that this adaptation is geared towards a younger audience, I still believe there is room for more action and excitement. I urge the creators to follow the books more closely and inject more energy into the series.

As a suggestion, I recommend looking at the new Airbender series, which targets a similar audience but manages to pack more action into its opening scene than the entire first season of Percy Jackson.

I'm hopeful that future episodes and seasons will explore these themes more deeply and deliver the excitement that fans of the books are craving.

I have not read the books, My daughters and wife have read them and were anxious for this series.

I really liked the actors and thought they did a decent job. The effects and look of the series were well done.

My problem was the series felt very rushed. After seeing the entire series I feel it could have been 2-5 episodes longer to supply more detail, build the world out, raise the stakes and allow us to get to know what's at stake.

I know books are always better...but remember I have not read the books and I could tell it was rushed.

My wife and daughter overall enjoyed the series, but were let down at how thin it seemed.

I plan to read the series now to see what I missed!

So very far from the mark. I had hope that the film adaptations could redeem themselves, since this was a huge part of many of our childhoods. The script is bad enough, but it is further ruined by pointless story changes, and boring scenes that leave you just wanting it to be over already.

Disney yet again runs out of ideas, even when the source material is right in front of them. Sincerely hoping that the series drops, same as what happened to the movies, to leave room for a possible, successful reboot in the future.

Watching is a waste of time. Read the books and preserve your view of the characters since this isn't them.

I was 11 when I first read Percy Jackson and the lighting thief. I was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, and my mother gave me this book because some neighbor said it was good for kids like myself. To this day, one of the most influential books I've read.

I've been waiting for this series for a long time, and man it was worth the wait. 2 episodes in and you can already see the attention to detail they put into this show. The casting choices are so far great, the dialogue is excellent, and the kids they chose for Grover, Annabeth, and Percy have so far nailed their characters. It's obvious they are setting this up to do the entire series (which would be phenomenal) and the pacing is so far pretty good.

If I had a Time Machine, I'd take this show back to 11 year old me to just see the excitement on my face as my favorite character gets an amazing series like this. I'm excited to see where they take the show, and how they introduce new characters through the series like Thalia and Nico. I can only hope that this gets even a quarter of the hype as Harry Potter, but I'm just glad Percy Jackson's finally getting the screen adaptation he deserves.

I waited a long time for this series. I watched the entire thing and didn't really feel it. I mean the story line is a lot closer to the book that the attempted movie adaptation. But I think the cast is not ready or not directed well. Though the movie lost the original story, the actors and actress did a better job. But I have to put in consideration that the ages of the three protagonists are accurate, I'm afraid they didn't capture the essence of the characters. I didn't feel them. Of course they were very young so I guess I better put that into consideration. I hope they'll do a better job with the Sea of Monsters or the show might not last another season.

Initially, I had doubts about the show, especially concerning casting and worries about staying true to the original material after those cringe-worthy movies. But diving into the first two episodes surprised me-it brought back the Percy Jackson vibes, nailing visuals, characters, and the storyline. Despite visual tweaks, the characters' personalities felt spot-on. Percy is undeniably Percy, Annabeth is herself, and Grover has some extra depth. I'm really looking forward to the next episodes! The quality and attention to detail exceeded my expectations, promising an engaging series that captures the essence of the beloved books.

I knew this was gonna be mid. The comics are the best adaptation I've seen so far and they've convinced me that motion picture adaptations of Rick's stories need to be animated. They blew through ~120 million to make a boring show with boring fights when they could've spent a fraction of that to deliver a show as entertaining as Avatar The Last Airbender, Young Justice, Invincible, etc.

I'm baffled by the people who imagined things in live-action when reading the books, some of the scenes sounded so goofy and outlandish that I couldn't imagine anything but a comic book come to life. I understand Rick felt pressure to match series like Harry Potter and Hunger Games and I think Walker Scobell has the kind of charisma to compete with the main actors from those franchises, but PJO was obviously never going to be like those books. They should've taken a risk and paved their own path.

Let me start off by saying that, as a fan of the books, this adaptation pays homage to the book series in just about every possible way.

It's entertaining, funny, and has a phenomenal soundtrack. The minotaur scene and the capture the flag scene in particular were well adapted to the screen.

Walker Scobell was probably the best possible choice to play Percy Jackson. With him as the lead role, it seems more genuine and we get a level of emotion that was distinctly absent from Logan Lerman's portrayal. Seeing such a young kid play Percy really made me realize that I never saw him as a 12-year-old in my mind. It makes me excited to see how Walker and his costars grow up with their roles.

As for the other actors, I think they were casted phenomenally. Diyonisus and Grover in particular are standouts to me. Each actor is great in their own role, but something about them seems off to me. It's almost like their acting is severely restrained, like they weren't allowed to do anything other than what was written for them. The actors themselves seem stiff, but they knew their characters without adding a lot of emotion.

The set pieces and cinematography are beautiful. The atmosphere of Camp Half Blood is wonderful and the implementation of Greek architecture for the cabins looks stunning.

I will update this review as more episodes release and my mind possibly changes.

My husband, son, and I read the Percy Jackson books together during those long months home at the start of Covid. So we were excited to watch this series together now, which promised to be an improvement over the movies. We came in with open minds but have been disappointed week after week.

I personally don't mind that the actors don't look the way they're described in the books. If they capture the characters' essence/ personality, I'm open to differences in appearance. Unfortunately, I think the child actors were at the mercy of poor screen writing, poor directing, and really strange choices in editing. As others have mentioned, the writing is stilted and the pacing of the show is uneven and choppy. Boring scenes are dragged out for too long, and what could have been interesting scenes are glossed over too superficially.

I also don't know what to make of the choice to cut to a dark screen whenever there's a significant transition. It reminds me of the jarring way TV shows used to cut to commercial breaks in the 80's. It's hard to understand why professionals at Disney couldn't come up with more sophisticated or creative options.

Finally, for a show that's supposedly sticking to the book (with input from the author), there are some very odd scenes that were either not in the book at all or which deviate drastically for no apparent good reason. Again, I am not a purist and am open to being surprised. But those scenes do very little (or nothing) to enhance the story. Watching a twelve year old struggle to drive a taxi while lurching through a parking lot for what felt like twenty minutes made the Fields of Asphodel seem stimulating. And, speaking of the underworld, how is it possible to make Hades less menacing than a cup of weak tea?!

We still really want to like the show, so we'll keep coming back for a few more weeks. But, at this point, we don't expect much. Sadly, the movies are looking better in comparison.

I really enjoyed the first 2 episode's. Tv is my escape from reality so having a show to grasp you and not let go is really hard to find anymore. I loved the books I loved the movies. I'm cool with them going away from the book alittle bit. I feel like sometimes that cld be a good thing. I enjoyed the fact they started the journey from the beginning. The acting isn't bad they are actually doing a great job on that end. The quality is great the scenes and the special effects are awesome. I'll say we're off to a great start. I think this is going to be a great show. Hopefully this show will get a real chance and be able to thrive.

As a long time fan of the books and hater of the OG films I came into this with a lot of excitement and anxiety.

Let me say this straight up. If you're a fan of the books, don't be afraid of this show. It's got the solid makings of what we always wanted. Starting with its main three cast members and a strong supporting cast. You can tell the intention from the makers is there too. The world feels tangible and like they're trying to bring what's on the page to the screen in a way that honors Rick's writing and if something's a little different that's ok too, because Uncle Rick is the one who adapted it anyways.

Just like with any show/series there will be growing pains and figuring out what works and what doesn't. So far, after the first two episodes (as that's all that's available) my biggest complaints are the pacing, I wish we could rest in the world a little more at times, editing, there are jump cuts and pacing issues, and directing choices, the actors are not being used to their full potential at moments but get away with raw talent.

All of these things can be easily remedied as the series progresses and matures. All we have to do is put our support behind it.

Is the show perfect? Absolutely not. The CGI isn't great and the pacing Is very fast. However, as someone who loved reading the series when I was in middle school, I love how much this reminds me of the books.

At first I wasn't sure about the casting choices, but after watching the show for a few episodes, I really think the actors do an excellent job of portraying their roles. The kid that plays the younger version of Ryan Reynolds is charismatic as hell on the screen and he and the girl who play Annabeth have great chemistry. Definitely above average performances for young actors in my opinion.

I am looking forward to see how they continue to expand the show into the following books because I'll never forget how disappointed I was at how inaccurate the Sea of Monsters movie adaptation. By the looks of this first season so far, I think we are going to get something a lot more accurate to the books. Not perfect, but definitely good enough to sit and watch for 40 minutes.

The way they intentionally cut scenes and animations to avoid showing them. The episodes feel unfulfilled, underdeveloped, and lazy. I wanted to like this show so bad, as I recently read the book, but all I can think of is WHERE DID THE BUDGET GO?? 15 million per episode, but I have seen fan made YouTube films that are way better and feel like a higher budget than this show. It seems lazy, the episodes are short. The whole point of this show was to correct the mistakes made by the movie and I would rather watch the movie than this show which is so disappointing. The characters lines are cheap and disingenuous.

As someone who has not read the novels, I find it hard to fathom why critics rate shows based solely on accuracy. I cannot remember the movies which means I most likely did not find them memorable but this show seems to be a bit of a Disney standout.

The cimematography and score have been excellent so far and the CGI is very good for a TV budget, at least better than aquaman anyway.

The introduction of new chacters has kept the show interesting and the overall pace has been better than expected.

The acting has been very good with Walker Scobell especially. He seems to pick up the emotions for his parts with ease. I also liked the scattered humour within the show such as the introduction of Jason Mantzoukas in Ep 2.

Only reason this is not a 10 is because of the stereotypical bullying towards the lead character which seems to be a staple for any show containing teenager groups.

So far after 3 episodes, I think it's a delightful, interesting show with enough intrigue to keep keep me fixed.

Remember, it's not a show trying to imitate a novel, it's a show "based" off a novel.

Super disappointed. I was so excited to see the Percy Jackson series get another shot. I thought "finally, they'll do it justice." Somehow they screwed it up twice. The acting is bland, I don't feel any emotion coming off of the kid who plays Percy or any other charchter in this adaptation except for the mom. At least Logan Lermans version was funny. Several things cut out, or info dumped, and everything felt rushed. The whole Ms Dodds thing was a blip, they changed Gabe's character to be less hateable, Percy getting the pen felt not important. Events kept happening but no drama or build up actually happened. The scene with capture the flag was also interestingly done, and I don't mean that in a good way. The one good thing is the theme song and the soundtrack. Otherwise...as someone who grew up with these books when they first originally came out, I'm upset. With Rick being onboard, I had hope, safe to say that's gone.

As someone who has read the books ten times over I couldn't be more disappointed by this show. The number of times I found myself shaking my head and laughing at various scenes in disgust is so unbelievably shocking to me, as I was realizing that I enjoyed the movies more than this show.

With Rick Riordan himself spearheading this show I expected to get what I've been waiting for since I was a kid, but the terrible acting and changes to the story made me unable to make it through episode three. Annabeth is completely unconvincing (zero redeeming qualities) and is easily the worst casting in the show. I also find myself actively rooting against Percy, he's so unlikable it's comical. Hearing his voice just angers me.

The second I reach the Medusa scene I had to stop watching. How Rick saw the negative effect changing the story had on the movies and decided to repeat that same mistake is baffling.

I tried to give it one more shot and simply couldn't. The show is unwatchable, plain and simple. This is never making it to season two. I can't even blame Disney for this one, Rick failed us.
