Atlantis

The haters of this show are making me laugh.

-They mention bad acting and poor dialogue but do not elucidate further. -They mention bad plots but do not elucidate further. -They mention bad characters but do elucidate further.

Then we come to what is really the problem:

Blasphemy to Greek Mythology.

Seriously? This show isn't meant to be true to Greek Mythology and doesn't need to be. We've read and seen the stories of Greek Mythology a thousand times over so a retelling (basing all of the great events and heroes in Atlantis) feels fresh.

My favorite review comes from beef-638-121436 who starts logically looking at how fast people drew lots once, estimating that it should have taken one full week for 1,000 people to do so as opposed to the day it took in the episode. He uses this as a basis for some of his hatred against the show.

This is hilarious. Wake up people. This is a family-orientated show. Obviously it's not going to be bloody A Game of Thrones. The last family-orientated show attempting to be simultaneously exclusive to children and adults (Dr.Who) ending up become a massive contradiction full of plot holes which took itself too seriously when it didn't need to.

The people wanting an accurate retelling of the Atlantis story can watch BBC's 2011 "Atlantis: End of a World, Birth of a Legend" which really was bad asides from the special effects.

This at least is entertaining.

It's a BBC drama. Just like Dr.Who, it's mindless fun. People taking this seriously really need to ask themselves what's important because nitpicking over little details such as how fast 1,000 are able to draw stones is very petty.

Are BBC programs mainly watched by people with anal retentiveness nowadays or what?

I enjoyed this show and I'm only sad that it took COVID-19 home isolation to come across the show. Binged both seasons to find out there's no plan for a 3rd season, also sad...

I have found Atlantis to be a very enjoyable piece of Saturday night entertainment. I am going under the impression that most of the hater reviews were written after the first episode. However i do not see it fit to base a show on just the begging, you wouldn't review a film after 1/12 the way through it. Yet, although the somewhat shaky start, i can fully say the show has massively improved in performance and storyline quality. After watching the full first series i can honestly say i was throughly impressed, it has nicely filled a gap left after the final season of Merlin. Finally, i hope it remains running and continues its good quality for many series to come.

Frankly, I liked it a LOT! To enjoy this, you have to sit back and relax and not wait for something to criticize.

I think it has a lot of potential. There are funny scenes, action and suspense. An interesting spin on the Greek myths and I hope it continues.

The actors are quite good in my opinion. I was so excited for something to finally fill the gaping hole Merlin left and I feel this is the perfect solution.

I'm grateful for a series with a little culture and anyone who loves mythology in general will love this exciting new angle. I was not disappointed and can't wait for the next episode!

I binged watch this amazing show. The first episode was very entertaining, I ended up watching the whole season with two days. I'm at work and watching this show. I slept late just to finish watching it. when I'm almost done with season 2 I found out the show Was cancelled. NOT COOL. They need to put season 3. I enjoyed watching it, it has humor, plenty of action. Love watching their relationship. It was very entertaining. Where do I petition for this show to return. Netflix need to take this show so I can keep watching it. Not liking BBC network for cancelling my show.
