Critics Reviews

Previous Nicola Austin Empire Magazine With a charming central trio, an intriguing quest and plenty of magical moments, this faithful reboot is a fun (if familiar) family-friendly fantasy. 3/5 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Leila Latif Guardian We’re off to an encouraging start! 3/5 Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson Sydney Morning Herald What I like most about this adaptation of the first novel in Rick Riordan’s best-selling fantasy series is that it speaks to the audience the books were written for: younger primary school students. 3/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Joey Rambles Cultured Vultures It may please die-hard fans of the books, but this Percy Jackson adaptation could’ve been so much more memorable had the characters been more likable, the episodes more exciting, and the humor more effective. 5.5/10 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Adrian Ruiz But Why Tho? A Geek Community Despite its compelling source material, a talented cast, and the allure of Greek mythology, the series struggles to break free from the shackles of lackluster exposition-driven dialogue, inconsistent CGI, and a failure to realize its characters’ journeys. Feb 1, 2024 Full Review J. Shruti Film Companion Percy still manages to be an edge-of-the-seat comfort watch. Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews Next

Audience Ratings

Previous Ronald H Good show, but it could be better, far better than this. They can improve a lot. Rated 3.5/5 Stars Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars • 02/21/24 Full Review Sevlow r To many things cut that are necessary for character development and if they were added in. It feels like a afterthought. Scene and transitions were choppy and out of place. CGI choices on what to use it on was terrible. Writing is terrible. Season two better take all the critiques that everyone is saying. Or I will probably not watch more. Rated 2/5 Stars Rated 2 out of 5 stars • 02/20/24 Full Review Louis B Well, you see, measured on the amount of scenes of the book that were in the series, it could be titled as a faithful adaption. But measured on how they executed these scenes, it was just awful.There was no reason to remove all excitement and tension from the scenes, but however, they made the series boring af. Why and how do they know they are entering Medusas garden? Why are they avoiding the Lotus Flowers in the casino and how could they even know that they blind your senses? How do they recognize any thread before facing it? How do they know Crusty is the shop owner before even entering the shop? They are kids, 12 years old, and in contrary to the movie they are even cast as such. They should be naive, not omniscient, they should be brave but frightened, not thoughened up, and they should be a team! Not an Annabeth, who is pessimistic, all-knowing and always in a bad mood; not a Percy who is shown as kinda dumb and not remotely close to the cheeky, daredevil kind of guy in the movie and books, and not a grover who doesnt eat cans, is mentally younger than anyone and not even close to being a protector like he should be.The characters are written so badly you cant build up any relationship to them, and they also don't really make a great team at all. The best characters are the ones not in the spotlight like Mr. D, Clarisse, Ares and Percys Mother. And thats it.Even the movie, though it had nothing much to so with the books, executed the Medusa and Lotus scene so much better than the series. They had great characters with souls and great development, and just such a good vibe to it. And that said, I hated the movie for neglecting the book. But the series took every bit of excitement away and made it dull through bad written scenes and characters. Rated 1.5/5 Stars Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars • 02/19/24 Full Review Rosie S I haven't reread the series in a while but this show has renewed my love for it just the same! I adore the cast and I love how beautiful everything was (and of course the story was great) I can't wait for season 2! Rated 5/5 Stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars • 02/18/24 Full Review Guilherme D Uma ótima série, um bom elenco. A série tá 90% idêntica ao livro, gosto muito dessa fidelidade. Mas a falta de emoção e aprofundamento de narrativa deixou muito a desejar, tudo acontece muito rápido, os personagens resolvem ou escapam dos problemas muito fácil Rated 4/5 Stars Rated 4 out of 5 stars • 02/18/24 Full Review Alex Sadly disappointing. The new Percy Jackson adaptation is more faithful to the source material, but that's not enough to make up for the rest. Horrible lighting, short episodes, rushed storytelling and poorly executed action turn the show into a chore to get through. The child actors are likable, but more often than not their performances feel stiff and awkward. Honestly, I had more fun with the 2010 movie. That wasn't faithful to the books at all, but at least it didn't feel lifeless and boring like this.
