Loved it! Super fun show so far! Keeps to the spirit of the books while not letting it be identical. I’m glad because that would be pretty boring for me. I really enjoy how much depth they are adding to what will be the primary conflict later on. I think the author had some things he wished he had done differently, or set things up differently, looking back after he finished the series and now he’s taking the time to do that through this medium.
I’m not the person to ask about whether the cgi is good or the acting is bad so Im not gonna comment on that. I generally never notice unless it’s obvious. So far, I’m just enjoying the story.
For book fans, characters that have been really well written in the show so far are Percy, Luke, Sally and Clarisse. I don’t feel that we’ve really gotten the feel yet for annabeth and Grover as annabeth hasn’t had many scenes or lines yet and Grover hasn’t received much depth yet. I think we’ll really get to know the movie version of them during the quest. The humor that is so present in Percy’s narration has not been really present yet (understandable as Percy has just lost his mom) but I’m hoping we’ll see a lot more of it soon.
All in all, a great start to a great series!
