On the screen, the wonky FX detracts from the charm. But those over Harry Potter and still looking for a magic-wielding underdog in whom to invest will find lots here to enjoy. |
| 284238 | Connor Lightbody | Movies We Texted About | Rotten | 2.5/5 | 2024-07-04T20:14:35.000Z | 2024-07-04 20:14:35 | The quirks that make the book such an outlier in the fantasy sphere have all but disappeared... If the distinguishing features of something are gone, what is left but a plain reminder of what could be and what you once experienced? |
| 284239 | Nelson Acosta | Koimoi | Fresh | 4/5 | 2024-07-03T23:56:21.000Z | 2024-07-03 23:56:21 | Percy Jackson comes to the screen with a faithful adaptation of the original novels and increased production values that rival the original film adaptations |

| 284241 | Joe Lipsett | Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast | Fresh | — | 2024-04-16T13:32:11.000Z | 2024-04-16 13:32:11 | A steep improvement on the films, the Disney+ series gives its young actors time and space to develop their characters, supported by a bevy of A-list adult talent. |
| 284242 | Joey Rambles | Cultured Vultures | Rotten | 5.5/10 | 2024-02-02T16:20:21.000Z | 2024-02-02 16:20:21 | 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. |
| 284243 | Adrian Ruiz | But Why Tho? | Rotten | — | 2024-02-01T00:57:19.000Z | 2024-02-01 00:57:19 | 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. |
| 284244 | Nicola Austin | Empire Magazine | Fresh | 3/5 | 2024-01-25T13:39:27.000Z | 2024-01-25 13:39:27 | With a charming central trio, an intriguing quest and plenty of magical moments, this faithful reboot is a fun (if familiar) family-friendly fantasy. |

| 284248 | Dylan Duggan | That Shelf | Fresh | — | 2023-12-28T20:14:18.000Z | 2023-12-28 20:14:18 | If the series continues at this pace, we can all soon pretend that this is the only on-screen adaptation of Percy Jackson and that the movies were all a bad dream. |
| 284249 | Nate Parker | Pajiba | Fresh | — | 2023-12-23T01:42:01.000Z | 2023-12-23 01:42:01 | When it comes to adapting source material to the TV screen, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is an unqualified success. Condensed and occasionally rushed, the story nevertheless hits all the key points with plenty of Easter eggs. |
| 284250 | Lauren Coates | Chicago Reader | Fresh | — | 2023-12-22T18:42:56.000Z | 2023-12-22 18:42:56 | It remains imperfect, but this Disney+ adaptation caters much more to devoted fans than the 2010s movie. |
| 284251 | Zach Kram | The Ringer | Fresh | — | 2023-12-22T00:27:19.000Z | 2023-12-22 00:27:19 | The new series isn’t flawless, but it does much more justice to Rick Riordan’s YA novels than the failed movie version. |
| 284252 | Ashley Moulton | Common Sense Media | Fresh | 4/5 | 2023-12-21T22:28:59.000Z | 2023-12-21 22:28:59 | Tween demigod's rousing TV adventures have dark moments. |

A story about growing up differently, keeping the focus on its protagonist. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 284254 | Andrew Murray | The Upcoming | Fresh | 3/5 | 2023-12-21T16:12:05.000Z | 2023-12-21 16:12:05 | Although Percy Jackson and the Olympians is littered with contrived genre trappings, the first two episodes of Disney’s latest series capture the sense of magic and imagination at the core of its world. |
| 284255 | Joel Keller | Decider | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T23:08:31.000Z | 2023-12-20 23:08:31 | 'Percy Jackson And The Olympians' tells a straightforward quest story with good writing and well-defined characters, but takes its time to set up Percy’s story without dragging the show to a halt. |
| 284256 | Robert Lloyd | Los Angeles Times | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T22:56:59.000Z | 2023-12-20 22:56:59 | Percy Jackson is witty without diminishing the emotional gravity of the material and does a lovely job of mixing its extraordinary and ordinary worlds. |
| 284257 | Carol Midgley | The Times (UK) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2023-12-20T21:23:42.000Z | 2023-12-20 21:23:42 | An interpretation that has been done with care and respect and the result is tasty. |
| 284258 | Brian Lowry | CNN.com | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T20:59:44.000Z | 2023-12-20 20:59:44 | Still generally fun, the Disney+ series doesn’t quite catch lightning in a bottle, but as coming-of-age sagas go this half-blood isn’t half bad. |
| 284259 | Proma Khosla | IndieWire | Fresh | B+ | 2023-12-20T20:32:39.000Z | 2023-12-20 20:32:39 | Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson novels can rejoice in the knowledge that Percy Jackson and the Olympians, now streaming on Disney+, is more than worthy of its source material and the massive mythology behind it. |
| 284260 | Randy Myers | San Jose Mercury News | Fresh | 3/4 | 2023-12-20T19:53:45.000Z | 2023-12-20 19:53:45 | Two theatrical films preceded this impressive eight-episode spectacle, which wields a Riordan-approved Midas touch that’ll appeal to kids and Bullfinch-loving adults. |
| 284261 | Cristina Escobar | RogerEbert.com | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T19:32:14.000Z | 2023-12-20 19:32:14 | While “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” doesn’t have much to add in terms of critically examining the mythology it draws from, there’s still plenty of joy in revisiting these stories. |
| 284262 | Alberto Carlos | Espinof | Fresh | 3/5 | 2023-12-20T18:46:58.000Z | 2023-12-20 18:46:58 | 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' positions itself as a more than appropriate series for the Christmas season: light, inoffensive, effective, and suitable for family watching. [Full review in Spanish] |

| 284264 | Nadira Goffe | Slate | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T15:13:30.000Z | 2023-12-20 15:13:30 | Let me assuage the fears of all the Percyheads out there: The new show is the Percy Jackson we’ve been waiting for. |
| 284265 | Kelly Lawler | USA Today | Rotten | 2/4 | 2023-12-20T15:12:39.000Z | 2023-12-20 15:12:39 | Confusing, with jagged pacing and an over-reliance on novice young actors, "Percy" just doesn't quite click. It strides for epic but ends up far more ho hum. |
| 284266 | Tania Lamb | Lola Lambchops | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T13:40:40.000Z | 2023-12-20 13:40:40 | Percy Jackson and the Olympians is the best Percy adaptation and story on the screen I've seen. Excellent casting. |
| 284267 | Dais Johnston | Inverse | Fresh | — | 2023-12-20T01:51:26.000Z | 2023-12-20 01:51:26 | Percy Jackson and the Olympians, a pitch-perfect adaptation of Rick Riordan’s mythological fantasy book series, may just have the juice to take on this throne and give the kids of the Harry Potter generation a new franchise that will grow along with them. |
| 284268 | Daniel Fienberg | The Hollywood Reporter | Fresh | — | 2023-12-19T21:27:24.000Z | 2023-12-19 21:27:24 | It carefully targets a younger demographic, honoring what’s likably relatable in the source material and delivering a dose of fantastical whimsy, all while making very few outrage-worthy changes. |
| 284269 | Lebo Malatse | Black Girl Nerds | Fresh | 4/5 | 2023-12-19T19:44:09.000Z | 2023-12-19 19:44:09 | If you’re a fan of the books, you’ll appreciate the effort that has gone into creating this TV adaptation, and if you’re new to the world of Percy Jackson, you’re in for a treat. |

| 284282 | Aprillé Morris | OffColour.org | Fresh | 4/4 | 2023-12-14T19:16:25.000Z | 2023-12-14 19:16:25 | After the poor performance of the first adaptation, so bad that even the series author has decried it for years, it seems redemption and kleos (Greek for glory) have finally arrived for Percy Jackson and the Olympians! |
| 284283 | Aramide Tinubu | Variety | Fresh | — | 2023-12-14T19:02:20.000Z | 2023-12-14 19:02:20 | The series depicts a genuinely inclusive world, showcasing storylines and characters that will captivate fans for the next decade.

But at it’s best, it reimagines the story for a modern audience -- and looking good while doing so. |
| 284285 | Belen Edwards | Mashable | Fresh | — | 2023-12-14T18:59:17.000Z | 2023-12-14 18:59:17 | Percy Jackson and the Olympians felt like coming home.
