Just look how many of these bad reviews give ridiculously over the top score and/or clearly have an agenda.

If they're not even talking about shows that have little to nothing to do with this one.

One of them even admits watching 5 mere minutes of it before deciding to quit and give it a 1/10.

One other cries something about cultural appropriation like the most unhinged alt-right bozo you could find on the internet.

I'm only on episode 5, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

It's really funny and pretty clever, too.

Definetly a Dan Harmon show. And I suspect, like most great shows in the making, it hasn't even found its pace yet.

While there were a couple of zingers that earned a silly giggle from us the humor was mostly the same we've heard from most of the 'comics' doing the voiceovers before and sounded unlike they were playing a character role but playing the same tired roles they've been playing for years.

Some of Matt Berry's jokes and Richard Ayoade's dialog were mostly repeats from The I. T. Crowd or What We Do In The Shadows albeit with a mostly different cast.

While we clearly enjoy the other shows we were hoping for something different this time. I'll watch a couple more episodes to see how it develops but for now it seems very mediocre considering the stellar talent list.

Seems like people didn't give this show much of a chance considering how many 1-3 star reviews popped up after just the first episode or two. Yes it's not R&M or Community but damn people at least wait until after the first few episodes to leave such bad reviews.

Really this show is in the 5-7~ range IMO, parts are good and parts are bad but it does have its moments. If you like Greek mythology and goofy comedy it's entertaining at least, the setting is interesting and the style of humor does seem a bit more like Community than R&M though it shares themes with both like dysfunctional family dynamics.

Seems like the kind of show that will improve over the first couple seasons as it spends more time world building and building up the character dynamics. Wasn't sure about it during the first few episodes but it does improve and going in blind helped, if you have high expectations you'll probably be disappointed but it seems like a lot of people are being overly harsh due to it not being Rick and Morty 2.0.

Hopefully it gets another season or two and a chance to improve.

I feel like too many people have too high of expectations of this show, seeing as it came from the mind of Dan Harmon, one of the creators and the main writer for Rick and Morty. But here's the part that blows my mind: It's a LOT like Rick and Morty. It carries the same quick-witted humor and social/familial dilemmas, all while having fun reinventing the origins of many aspects to mankind, with a heavy Greek myth twist.

It starts out a bit off, to be honest. I felt like the modern speech infused with ancient Greek times was a tad annoying. I feared this show was going to try too hard, and just end up flopping. It had that atmosphere the first episode.

I am glad I stuck through it because it only took me through the second episode to really start getting into it. A lot of the fun has to do with putting fun spins on Greek gods. It exposes the Greek gods for what they really are: just like mortal humans, only with the gift of immortality. They're just as egocentric, crooked, zany, and erratic as mankind. They have family problems. They are NOT all-knowing, and they can have feelings.

Let's just take a moment to mention how awesome Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade are. I might be biased as a huge "The IT Crowd" fan, but those guys are just great. And I'm fast becoming a huge fan of the character Hippocampus, for a fish he's really got some huge balls. The way he deals with characters like Prometheus, or even his own step-mom. Pretty badass.

There is a lot of subtle humor too. Silly humor, cynicism, dark humor, irony, you know, the fun stuff. Like Deliria forcing two mortals to fan her while basking next to large fire lanterns. Or how little the lives of mortals are valued, by both gods and humans (and monsters). It's a good show, give it a try if you like adult animation and Greek mythology.

Yeah, I think Rick and Morty is great, aside from the gross out episodes, and Community remains a classic. Dan Harman's bee branching out a little with some side projects, all of which seem great by me, and all of which the usual MacDonalds Szechuan Sauce fans don't like. No doubt that this show isn't one of the best ever; but it's clever with how it plays with Greek Mythology, at the same time providing a good smile or laugh every 30 seconds or so. It remind me quite a bit of Disenchantment, which isn't as good as Futurama, but because its humour, plot lines and character progression is different from R&M doesn't make it not worth a few good hours of our lives to watch. It's weird, because compared to the appalling comedies out there like the generic sofa sitcom, or the like of Big Bang Theory or Young Sheldon, which people seem to love. The Dan Harmon fans are unwilling to keep a more than half decent comedy on air with poor reviews, so it will just be cancelled, by the Networks who won't produce interesting imaginative and thought provoking shows, isn't stay with the generic sitcom that pull in the wider audience. Advertisers love the demographic this brings in, and the only way to keep 'our' stuff on air is to support it. Nope, it isn't the greatest, but it beats the majority out there by miles. Give it a go, if You know your Greek Mythology it's clever and it is funny:)
