Percy Jackson and the Olympians S01E06 1080p WEB-DL DD5.1 x265
As a long time fan of the books and hater of the OG films I came into this with a lot of excitement and anxiety. Let me say this straight up. If you're a fan of the books, don't be afraid of this show. It's got the solid makings of what we always wanted. Starting with its main three cast members and a strong supporting cast. You can tell the intention from the makers is there too. The world feels tangible and like they're trying to bring what's on the page to the screen in a way that honors Rick's writing and if something's a little different that's ok too, because Uncle Rick is the one who adapted it anyways. Just like with any show/series there will be growing pains and figuring out what works and what doesn't. So far, after the first two episodes (as that's all that's available) my biggest complaints are the pacing, I wish we could rest in the world a little more at times, editing, there are jump cuts and pacing issues, and directing choices, the actors are not being used to their full potential at moments but get away with raw talent. All of these things can be easily remedied as the series progresses and matures. All we have to do is put our support behind it.
