Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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. Rated: 3/5 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Leila Latif Guardian We’re off to an encouraging start! Rated: 3/5 Jan 3, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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. Rated: 5.5/10 Feb 2, 2024 Full Review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) J. Shruti Film Companion Percy still manages to be an edge-of-the-seat comfort watch.

Tom F I went into this a Percy Jackson virgin and found the series better than expected. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Anton A A really high budget production with a good adventure plot. While there are some well known TV series B-listers, the child cast is the main focus.And there lies the problem. Really weak acting. The season's plot has moments relying on weight that most of the mains can't just get right.Regardless, the plot is good enough for it to be decent watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Chris T Awesome pre-teen family entertainment. We watched it as a family and both younger & older teenagers loved it. Kept my wife & I entertained too with a good plot and great production. Looking forward to season 2! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Christopher M I'm a fan of the books and this is a work faithful to the originals. I want more seasons!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Megan e This is a fantastic series and a really good adaptation! I love that they used child actors, so it’s much more authentic to the books. The visuals are stunning, acting is good, and it’s a great adventure! 5 stars Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Matthew B Faithful and compelling first season!Though some are upset that some things were changed from the books, the characters and MOST of the events that happen are the same. I was laughing hard, crying at the scenes with Sally Jackson, and cheering for the trio all the way through. The tension was so good, and Luke's betrayal at the end was so well represented from the books telling. Super hyped for season 2!
