What do you think? Do you like the Olympus TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
Once you accept this is not a big-budget Game of Thrones / Atlantis / Spartacus, then actually its kinda fun – a little bit quirky, but its got a little bit of everything you’d expect from something like this: some flesh, action, monsters, politics etc etc…The relationship between the pretty-boy hero and female lead looks like it could get interesting and there is some skulduggery and politics brewing in the city, so enough to keep interest piqued and perhaps become a guilty pleasure. But if you’re happy with a light-hearted, fantasy romp, then this does a job.I say:Renew.
Hero’s real name? 1.Oracle’s name is Pandora. Well, that figures.It’s the same as the first man — so, Adam. 2. The father of Theseus was Aegeus.Theseus was one of the greatest heroes and king of Athens, his legents are almost equivalent as those of Hercules and Jason. Hero’s real name: Theseus or Adam or both.This is mystery. RENEW !!!
First: Renew
Suggestions for Olympus(if continued) season 2:
1.Restore(Zeus can do): Medea, Daedalus and Lykos/Medus – Necessarily 2.Add: Janson and Phaedra – It would be good and increased viewership. 3.Respect the mythology and common sense.
In Greek Mitology: Medea and her son Medus fled from Athens on her flying chariot, to the Colchis and on her way she came to Absoros where her brother Apsyrtus was buried, and that the people of Absoros could not cope with the large amount of serpents that were all around the place. So Medea gathered them up and put them in her brother’s tomb, where they still remain. On her return to Colchis, Medea found that King Aeetes had been deposed by his brother Perses. To solve this inconvenience, she killed her uncle and restored the kingdom to her… Read more »
1. Medea’s destination after Corinth: Thebes, Athens, Colchis, The Hevens. 2. The father Medea’s son Medus/Medeus: Janson or Aegeus. 3. Janson’s death: killed by a falling beam of the Argo or suicide. 3. Even Medea’s intentional slaying of her own children is omitted in the earliest version, in one of witch seems to kill her children unintentionally in the attempt to make them immortal and in another the children are killed by the Corinthians. 4. There is also a partial infanticide account, in witch Medea kills two of three sons. 5. And in one early imperial Roman account Medea and… Read more »
1.I had not found anything to indicate that Medea died. She was probably immortal like her aunt (Circe), who was also a sorceress. Though, according to Diodorus Siculus,Medea were the daughters of Hecate. Janson was a hero from Iolcus most beautiful man alive. 2. By escaping, Medea deprived the Corinthians of a victim whom they could punish, so they turned against Jason. They banished Jason from Corinth. Medea’s revenge was complete. After her revenge, no king would allow Jason to woo his daughter, especially when there was a possibility of Medea seeking them out and destroying their family. 3. Epitome… Read more »
Maybe it’s just me but it seems like anyone can make a brilliant TV show by incorporating Greek gods, heroes, and cyclopses into it’s story. The whole point is that I just don’t buy that the whole episode is really as good as it has claimed to be before I first watched it. There is so much science fiction in it and this makes me like it a lot less. There are also plenty of small things that I just don’t understand that bother me.What was done well however were the army set designs, and the King Aegeus makes a… Read more »
What I like best about the Greek myth based TV show Olympus is the transition of Hero’s character from a naïve youth into a coldhearted fighter and killer. Queen Medea on the other side of the coin is the best woman ever. She is the type of woman that we vouch for: ruthless, dynamic, irresistible, and sexy. This fast-paced fantasy-drama combine taking place in ancient Greece has everything viewers could hope for including nonstop storytelling, lust, betrayal, greed, and love. Monsters, nymphs, kings, queens, and despots completely dominate the spectrum of this series presents a glimpse into the darker side… Read more »
Hì . Thats not why I like the show not for the Dark side. That’s all we ever see on Tv. No its the light side I like to encourage. The show was excellent and hope it continues.
Hero is an interesting character in the Olympus story because he is the one who is in charge of saving the world in a sense. What I really liked about Olympus is that each character had a different motive, and the quest for immortality was great. And the fight between two kingdoms for it seemed like a fascinating plot to me. The only thing that is wrong with Olympus is that it places too much emphasis on the fight scenes and not enough on developing some of the characters. The characters that could have been developed more were King Aegeus.… Read more »
This as a interesting show. Some critics trashed the special effects, Saying it was like effects from he 90’s. Some of he distance shots did look like that but none of the closer sets did. And it was still done well overall. They axed helix but that one was getting hard to follow. Unless u stayed on top of it. I hope hey renew this because ‘atlantis got the ax and we have no other sword and sorcery offerings.
Thirteen episodes not enough. Loved it. The cast and writing fantastic gripping! Wipes out all the commercial same old shows. Top marks.
On television, we see a wide range of dramatic offerings: daytime soap operas; Nighttime situation comedies; Hospital and police shows; News documentaries. NOOOOOO !!! I absolutely love Olympus! I am now officially a huge fan of the TV series.The plot is interesting and so are the characters. The queen is a great character and really makes you hate her.There have been many Greek mythology movies in the past, but never one with an intrinsic plot like this one.In my opinion Olympus is the best modern Greek drama that we have seen thus far.All in all this mythology-influenced drama is one… Read more »
Oh My Goodness! This is so Awesome! Olympus creator – This is a truly gifted artist. I thought the acting was excellent and the effects while not 100% were still great! I thought the characters were all very well developed and although the story does stray a bit from traditional Greek mythology. Thank you Syfy network!!!! Renew !!
There have been all sorts of TV series in the past but I don’t think that the creativity came anywhere close to that of Olympus. Olympus from my stand point is a fascinating film about how to get into the gates of Olympus which rumor has it will lead to immortality.For some reason I thought that a story about a topic this old would be boring. On the contrary it seemed to be more interesting than I previously thought.I now find myself disliking ‘Hero’ – not because of his acting, but because of the character development. He’s now an anti-hero,… Read more »
It started off a little rough but the series is more and more engaging. It feels more like a play then a TV show. Ignore the sometimes poor special affects and focus on the story. I think the acting is very good and the writing is improving. Try not to judge this with other shows that have million dollar budgets. It does as well as it can with the small budget it has. Listen to the words and concentrate on the acting. It’s better then most people are saying.It’s a good show and I hope it gets renewed.
Totally agree totally brilliant acting. The show took off after about third episode I found I had to see the next. Also sext sexy and eroctic also which adds a lot of energy. But in thise days one would need to use everyone one had to survive.
I Agree . Did I already agree if so you now have two
The trick of any good artist is always to hook the reader into the story and keep them on the edge without giving away too much information. They did not do so successfully in this part of the first and most important episode in the entire series. And this here is the biggest blunder since the first episode is the most essential episode of all the others. The first episode is what determines whether or not people will keep watching the series or decide to flip the channel so to speak and watch something else.Another thing that is confusing is… Read more »
I think the first episide was weak and vauge visually . The main character is called Hero because his name is cursed and can not be spoken or the speaker will turn to stone. As I said after the third episode I loved the show some of the best acting and writing I’ve seen for a while. Intence, Dramactic, brilliant acting and very moving also. In that part of the world and time Men viewed being gay or bisexual as normal as part of love and bonding So glad this was included . Also included in Atlantis. I did think… Read more »
This is an excellent series of thirteen episodes of the mythology drama Olympus. The story is set and takes place in an ancient and fascinating world of gods, goddesses, cyclopes, and humans. This intriguing story concentrates on the transformation of the main protagonist called Hero as he changes from a fresh-faced and raw young man into a ruthless powerful and true leader of man.Plot is very clever and intriguing. I am not very much familiar with these young actors but their acting skills are decent. Renew – Big recommendation!
At first I did not like it at all I thought it looked cheap but after about 3 episodes i found it brilliant and dramatic. I used to like Dr who until Steven Moffat took it over but that has become total crap.
I like Atlantis and Olympus both. Olympus is intense sexy and mystical. I hate the violence wish that could be cut out no need at all it would still be brilliant. My Fav show at present.
Also liking Dark Matter but only seem episode so far Nic
