'OLYMPUS' EPIC TV SERIES
1ST CAST PHOTOS AND TRAILER
I do agree that the trailer and the photos look cheesy and trashy and that a part of the cast seems terribly miscast, but here's something epic for you: new fantasy series OLYMPUS which we shall give benefit of the doubt April 2nd at SyFy! Today you can check out the first cast photos and also the epic trailer for the 13 episode mythological drama series which will take viewers into the action packed world of humans, Gods and monsters!
MEN AGAINST GODS
New mythological series OLYMPUS follows a young man’s mythical quest to solve the riddle of the Gods, unlock the doors to Olympus and become an immortal. Hero’s epic journey leads him through the darkest realms of Ancient Greece accompanied by the beautiful, but twisted Oracle of Gaia, the powerful sorceress Medea and genius inventor Daedalus. Hero battles trickster gods, vicious monsters, seductive nymphs, kings and despots, as he transforms from fresh-faced naive into a ruthless, cold hearted killer, and match for the gods themselves.

I'm always interested in heroes, oracle and kings...to see!
ReplyDeleteHope it will be good ... especially since BBC's ATLANTIS was so godawful and disappointing
DeleteSo many shows... so little time. I have found with new shows I won't watch them until they are least half a season into it or on the second season...
ReplyDeleteas a spy my duty is to watch them as soon as they begin... but I do have leftovers which I usually cover during summer when telly has an empty belly :)
DeleteHi Dez.....
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend?
These look ok....I guess!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
the weekend's over here already :) Watched X Factor Adria and am now ready for bed :)
DeleteSweet dreams.....
Deletethanks!
DeleteJudging from the trailer, "Olympus" seems unnecessarily complex. Nice to see Matt Frewer in something again though.
ReplyDeleteIs he the one from MAX HEDROOM?
DeleteI never did get into mythology. I am not sure this one will be my cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm currently translating a book which is very much into mythology....
DeleteThen I hope for your sake you enjoy mythology. Otherwise, what a complete bore!
DeleteI do, history is my fave genre next to sf and this one mixes both :)
DeleteYeah. I'm kind of underwhelmed. I think they should have stuck with a simpler theme. As Debra said above, it's complex and therefore confusing.
ReplyDeleteand a better choice of actors too.... the ladies in it all seem so random
DeleteI think they should use Nina's version of 'wicked game' on a movie or tv soundtrack; she's go some pipes!
ReplyDeleteshe sung it last night leaving me totally speechless! I'm a huge fan of Celtic and Elven voices.
DeleteI agree, the visuals look pretty cheesy. But I'm still going to watch it. I'm a sucker for Greek mythology.
ReplyDeleteWe shall certainly give it a try! That is what we do with all epic series
DeleteMen against gods... The vanity of human beings, right?
ReplyDeleteyouthinks, we couldn't take them down?
DeleteWe must.
DeleteI'm already scheming and plotting .. you go build up muscles....
DeleteIf they're going to do something like that, it has to be done full-on or it will come across as cheesy. And that means lots of money on costumes, sets, and good actors!
ReplyDeletecostumes are mildly sad, sets are more or less OK, actors more than terrible... I don't think I've ever seen such a dilettante cast on TV
