Olympus (2015)
1/10
Talk about a Greek Tragedy
10 April 2015
I honestly think some of the positive reviews on here were written by staff or interns of the show. Because they are delusional. This show was so awful I had to take the time to write my first review. First off, I absolutely am not expecting anything from Syfy to be at par with the likes of a GoT or 300 movie but common. This was just insulting to Syfy viewers. Anyone claiming the green screen shots to be 'epic' or 'visually creative' must not watch very much television or movies. I can appreciate and very much enjoy good digitally enhanced scenery but this was not that. I think they would've had better results if they'd contracted out the green screen scenes to a local college. It was just so fake and made getting into the story very difficult. Which leads to another issue, the story. The characters and their backgrounds were never properly introduced which left me not caring about the outcome of any of them. The writing is so disjointed. Why did Hero say he was going to take back all 3 "oracles" back but then, when the young one ran away he completely forgets what HE HAD JUST SAID and leaves the 2 older "oracles". It's like they didn't even try to put together a juicy captivating story. I really can't believe Syfy messed up so badly on this one. Considering they've got good shows like Helix and 12 Monkeys with great production value and writing how did this stinker slip through. Such a shame because I was looking forward to a new great Greek mythology show. Guess I'll have to keep waiting.
