- Jeff Goldblum as Zeus
- A disabled actors play a disabled characters (Mat Fraser & another secret one [because spoilers])
- A trans actor plays a trans character (I won't say which one since it's kind of a spoiler)
- Set in modern times, uses characters from old myths but isn't a simple retelling; it's a whole new story
- All your favs are there (Prometheus, Daedalus, Persephone, Dionysus, Cassandra, Medusa, Charon, Ariadne, the Fates, the Furies, just to name a few)
- Speaking of Persephone, she and Hades are actually in love (the version of the myth which I know much of you love)
- Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss Hera (as in, she literally does all those things)
- The gods' actors' ages actually make sense, they didn't cast solely young people or make young people look older; you've got Zeus (72), Hera (63), Hades (61), Persephone (56), Poseidon (56), Dionysus (27), you get the idea
- Killer soundtrack
- Actual realistic queer characters/representation in a natural, unforced way
- Enjoyable story and comedic but also has depth (I binge-watched it in a day)
- Not a huge commitment (8 episodes of about 50 minutes each)
- Have you ever thought "What would the Ancient Greek gods be doing in modern times?" This show answers that question!
- It wasn't renewed for a second season due to viewership, so if the views explode, maybe they'll renew it and I can find out what happens next (I know it's not likely, but I can dream; besides, if just one person watches and enjoys it, then this post will have been worth it)
