Not sure why they cancelled this show.No-name actors have to be cheap, so what is the problem with producing a third season?
... View MoreThis series is just awful. I'm a fan of classical mythology, and to be honest, I'm glad I dodged that bullet! It's basically like Clash of the Titans, but they shot it on budget and aired it before the watershed! Homer would be turning in his grave right now. If the Greek gods were fans of TV, let's just say Zeus would be priming those trusty lightning bolts of his!
... View MoreI was gutted by knowing that this amazing show was canceled. I know too well that season one might seem a bit slow and not very interesting, but season two is beyond stunning! The show becomes darker and develops more mature themes. The characters get their development and the season two finale is utterly flawless. So much happened and there was a lot of potential material for the next season. Therefore it ended on a cliffhanger. This is such a shame. Pythagoras gets a love interest at last and they are so cute. They will never get a chance for exploring their relationship deeper. The story deserves to go on. This show must go on! I hope it gets re-commissioned.
... View More"Atlantis" is a well-made, cleverly written, exciting adventure show. The diverse cast of characters are all well-acted, with action and plots well-executed. It's refreshing to have once again a virtuous hero (Jack Donnelly as Jason) with a female love interest (Aiysha Hart as Ariadne) who isn't trying to outdo and emasculate him like so many of the unlovable and unconvincing heroines way too prominent these days.The triumvirate of Jason and pals Pythagoras (Robert Ems) and Hercules (Mark Addy) though entirely different personalities have great chemistry, but of course Hercules will never be the same. The two villains of the piece (Sarah Parish as Pasiphae and Oliver Walker as Heparion) nearly steal the show, they do such a dastardly good job. It's a rousing, fantastic thoroughly enjoyable romp with enough thrills, danger, pathos and humor to keep viewers interested. My only criticism is that these ancient Greek era men should not be wearing toreador pants, otherwise the costumes and sets are up to par with the period. "Atlantis has some similarity in style to the old Kevin Sorbo Hercules series and the previous BBC "Merlin" but is far superior to both, especially in the acting and writing.
