It’s hard to fault Percy Jackson and the Olympians, given what fans of the series had before. The Disney+ series is a vast improvement on the 2010 film starring Logan Lerman, chiefly because it’s so faithful to the books by Rick Riordan. Still, it’s not quite enough to exist as an accurate retelling. This new, improved Percy Jackson felt like a slog in other areas, with shoddy pacing and muddy backgrounds from the Volume keeping audiences at arm’s length.
Percy Jackson Season 1 had a laundry list of issues to address. Fortunately, the new trailer for Season 2 seems to be teasing a big improvement on its predecessor.
