Less popular than Harry Potter, the Percy Jackson saga continues to be a huge success in bookstores in the children’s literature section, selling no fewer than 180 million copies worldwide. No wizards here, but demigods and Greek mythology carried over to our day.
Lovers of history and storytelling will find what they’re looking for with familiar creatures – Medusa, to name just a few – and thrilling adventures with universal codes. After two films in the cinema, Percy Jackson is now becoming a TV series.
The program, which is more faithful to the books than the films released in 2010 and 2013, can rely on its pace, successful visual effects and a trio of actors to appeal to younger audiences.
What will you like?
- The world of Percy Jackson is fascinating. It is based on the existence of gods along with the human world. When the hero discovers his origin, new horizons open before him. Nothing beats getting away from it all.
- The three young stars of the series – Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries, Arian Simhadri – are very believable and attractive.
- Percy Jackson and the Olympians does not skimp on special effects and action scenes worthy of the greatest movie blockbusters. This is a reality show spread over several episodes.
What are they afraid of?
Although the series is accessible to young viewers, it is possible that the creatures will frighten young viewers, as in the midnight attack of the minotaur in the first episode.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is available on Disney+.
