This is the adventures of a young half-God Hercules (Ryan Gosling), son of Zeus. He is a student at Cheiron's Academy. His friends are fellow students Iolaus and Prince of Corinth Jason. He is often battling the God Ares with his lackeys, Strife and Discord. Lilith is the first and only female Academy cadet. Kora runs the local hangout.

At least, this has Gosling. This is an offshoot of the Xena universe. In addition to this being a Young something show, it is also a half hour show. It makes this feel like a junior show in the verse. It only had one season although that is 50 episodes. One issue is the three male bro group. It needs a female fourth. They do try to include Lilith after the early shows, but she is not a main character in every episode. Mostly, this is young Gosling spreading his wings and that's somewhat interesting.

This series only lasted one season but it's not that bad. Clearly it was made to ride the wave of other series like Xena and Hercules but it seemed to me that it had a hidden potential that however did not convince the creators who decreed its end.

The television series of "Young Hercules" was not a useless one. From my perspective, it was a good show for the younger audience, especially considering it was called YOUNG Hercules. The actors did well in their roles and the show was great for kids. The show was not meant to be as fantastic or awe-inspiring as were the originals, it was meant for younger people. It is an interesting show when one is twelve or thirteen. "Young Hercules" was a means of gaining a wider audience. The story lines had to remain simple enough for children, not complicated as in the adult versions. So when one comments on how foolish something is, they should really look at it in order to understand it better. And after all, it is not serious - it's mythology.

Developed and produced by Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi, we follow the titular Young Hercules (Ryan Gosling), in his prequel years prior to the more adult focused series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. From the same universe as Xena: Princess Warriors, but now for a considerably younger audience, the series puts (now) heartthrob Gosling as the lead, as he gets into continuous trouble with his father Zeus, the vengeful Hera, and of course the angry Ares and all this goons. Hercules is joined by his schoolmates Iolaus and Jason, three magnificent dude-bros out on their like totally awesome adventures man. Very lighthearted throughout, the shows really silly, lots of acrobatics and rubber weapons, and foley artists making the most ridiculous bangs and clangs every fight. It feels much like the kids genre of its time, almost as inspired by the likes of Power Rangers than Hercules, but it does what it wanted to I guess. Unless you're a big Gosling fan, or just love campy tv, I wouldn't likely recommend.

A spin-off/prequel of the equally as great "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys", "Young Hercules" was a fun and entertaining show for young viewers that never really got a chance. The show was I believe on Saturday mornings and was easily one of the best shows Fox had on at the time. While Ian Bohen had played Hercules in the YOUNG HERCULES movie and some of the "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" episodes, he was replaced here with Ryan Gosling who did an impressive job with the role. Also good with their roles was Chris Conrad as Jason, Kevin Smith as Ares, and Dean O'Gorman as Iolaus. In addition to the rather good acting, the directing and writing were also surprisingly well done. It would have been cool to have executive producer Sam Raimi direct an episode, but that never happened. Perhaps if he had been more involved in the show, it would have become more popular and might not have been canceled.

I have seen this TV show and I really like it. I enjoy it because it is the adventures that Hercules had growing up. If you like Hercules Legendary Journeys you should watch this show!This show also has cute guys in it!

Young Hercules is a very upbeat and adventurous counterpart to the adult version of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Unlike Hercules:TLJ, Young Hercules is obviously aimed at younger kids who couldn't be interested to sit for an hour and watch some boring episode of Hercules and get completely confused by watching plot lines twist and turn, people dying, then coming back to life. Young Hercules offers them the chance to love Hercules and Ancient Greece by giving them action packed episodes that are only a half hour long. Perfect for anyone who loves Ancient Greece and Hercules, heroes and gods, but doesn't want to be confused, or sit through an entire hour of television of the same thing over and over again. :)

I love to watch reruns of this show! Ryan looks hot in leather!! I'm glad to see that WAM plays the reruns. I known that this show is aimed for younger views but I can't resist watching it every time it's on. You don't need to be a master in Greek history to understand this show, which is great because I'm not.

part of a fashion about Ancient Greek hero, it can not be original or surprising. its virtue is the freshness, the inspired manner to create a series for kids in which the adventures are expressions of basic values and the spirit of age. it is not really serious or dramatic or exotic. but each of that sins is important for a coherent message. because it is an introduction in the universe of myth and the art to give the perfect language for present it is not a small detail. so, an useful series. for a public who search the emotions of great events, who preserves the resources of imagination and for who the life/word is a conquest of every day.short, a nice work. interesting as class tool and for the definition of start in life for a great hero.

Ryan Gosling. the Ryan Gosling. as the young Hercules. this is all. because the script and the acting are far to give more. and the desire to use the success of other series is the worst idea. the disrespect to the Greek mythology is only a small detail. the real sin is the ignorance to propose a coherent story. the fights and the expressions of friendship are not convincing because each is only a drawing. the good intentions are suffocated by costumes and silly situations. Hercules is a hero and his grow up in the series is only the ordinary grow up of a young man from our time. and imagination of scriptwriter is ill. so, the great fans of the Kevin Sorbo are the only happy public of this bizarre series.

The show wouldn't have been made if Ian Bohen didn't play Young Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Ian looks and acts way better than Ryan Gosling. Ian looks more like the part and Gosling isn't that great of an actor. If Ian didn't want the part, the show should have been scrapped. The show would have lasted longer and would have been more popular if Ian had taken the part.
