Just noticed this last night. I will definitely try it out. Wife thought it looked stupid, so I'll probably watch it whenever (if ever) I have free time by myself.
Hopeful
Thought this was gonna be about a "Get Smart" spinoff.
I think I got 3 episodes in, gf and I are enjoying it. Very Bri'ish. I kinda wish I knew more about Greek mythology as I'm sure some stuff gets past me.
Didn't they do this already with Thor Ragnarok?
"H-A: In return for the flattery, can you reduce the size of your signature? It's the only part of your posts that don't add value. In its' place, just put "I'm an investing savant, and make no apologies for it", as oldarmy1 would do."

I thought Thor doesn't meet Zeus until Love and Thunder? But yeah, Goldblum was in Ragnarok.
Just finished episode 3. Liking it so far, but I'm a big fan of mythology.
Really like it but, again, half or more of the cast is gay / trans / bi. It's really so off putting at this point. Not everyone has to take it in the ass.
Yeah if it wasn't for the gratuitous gay sex scenes this would have been pretty good. Hollywood gotta do Hollywood though.
No one told us the Greek Gods were going to be decadent and transgressive by Christian standards. Thanks a lot Hollywood.

But there is totally not a movement in Hollywood to shove that into every show.
Not at all.
My Greek mythology is a little rusty, but didn't Zeus try have sex with just about anyone and anything?
Sounds like Hera slander.
The most sinful aspect of the show is the whole false idol thing. I think that one bothers God more than the wrong orifice endeavor.

The Greeks were notorious homosexuals & pedophiles, goes to figure their gods would be as well.Quote:

Can't disagree that the subject matter is a perfect match for Hollywood! They are literally experts in the Greek lifestyle!
Yeah, a lot of what is being mentioned shouldn't be much of an issue based on Greek mythology. There is a ton of same-sex relationships, people changing genders (voluntarily or as a punishment by the gods), etc.
IMO, you should be much more disturbed by the following despite many of them also being included in mythology (spoilers through episode 3):

- Rape
- Zeus killing a baby
- Hera talking about beastiality (read about how the Minotaur was created)
- Poseidon putting his toe in Minos's mouth

Well, some Romans.
FYI, the actress who plays Riddy is Harold Perrineau's daughter

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Both can be true...
Hollywood has a habit of shoehorning homosexual characters into shows.
A show about ancient Greek culture should absolutely have a bunch of gay *****

Finished the season last night. Really enjoyed it. Surprising how much of it is pulled straight from mythology with only minor variations to fit the setting. Hope we get a Season 2 renewal announcement soon.

So this is the 2nd Greek god that David Thewlis has played, unless I'm missing another?
I though we all learned that at the 2024 Olympic Opening ceremonies? No?Faustus said:

Watching.
Very interested
The music selection and timing is awesome
Saw Lacheus the Fate and thought "That looks like Eddie Izard playing an old hag." And then found out how right I was.
Jeff Goldum plays his character perfectly

Highly entertaining

watched the first two or three episodes last night
really enjoy it
Goldblum is awesome in everything
I even picked out that it was Stephen Dillane just from his voice as he is unrecognizable as Sisyphus

not only is that Hollywood but pretty prevalent in Greek society 3000 years agoEl Hombre Mas Guapo said:

I don't know anything but doing spoilers since referring this season.
Zeus is now free from his prophecy and still has the power to take souls so although he took a huge L, I wonder what his plan is going forward. Are the fates still the fates or are they evolved into something else?

Trans protagonist
Men in Drag
Gay sex scenes
Interracial couples
Baby murder (essentially abortion)
Tribe of only women martyrs where men are forbidden
What am I missing? Although, I'm not sure there's a more suitable plot to make it palatable other than Greek mythology

Are you really calling out the concept of the amazons as being woke? That's been around forever.
Also I feel like mythology and ancient history is full of baby murder.

Fun watch. Took me back to when I used to geek out over mythology in elementary school. Looking back, not sure what my parents were thinking, but still. Really enjoyed it. Entertaining from start to finish.
Life's an endless party, not a punch card.

Plus the baby murder was done by the "bad guy" they weren't showing baby murder (or as the other guy called it, abortion) in a good light

This. At first I was like oh come on and then I was like "well, duh". One of the first times gratuitous gay sex is actually not out of line in a show.
Has anyone spent ANY time with Greeks?
Anyways, loving it 3 episodes in.
