Myths & Monsters

Lets do all cultural myths. Lets expand this. Its such a calming and entertaining series.

Make sure Mr. Day can narrate or at least someone with a soothing voice.

1/8/18. I love myths and monsters, but for some reason the delivery of the information was not well done. It just seemed a bit all over the place. I stayed with the series because there were good tidbits here and there. But, it could have been done better in a more interesting manner.

This entire show is amazing. There were some info within the show that I didn't even learn in college/high school. Show was set up in a very interesting and fun way. I was not confused or lost at all. Very educational. I let my kids watch this. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I hope there's another season coming soon.

Very informative and very well illustrated/animated. Episode length is fantastic and each episode left me wanting more.

Expertly introduced and partially narrated by Nicolas Day.

My only issue with the series was the annoying voice of Dianne Purkiss, her whining snobbish voice irritated me and often made me want to mute her.

I love folklore and so I possibly expected too much from this title. They try to contextualize myths in erroneously simplified histories - the organization of which is tediously bad.

Most of the time they're featured, the experts fail to provide any actual insight into myths. When they're not spouting awful platitudes - which is possibly the most frustrating part of the show - they summarize only the most surface-level details of a given historical fact or mythology. It almost seems like each episode is deliberately structured to stretch a twenty minute run-time to forty minutes.

That said, both the artwork and the narration are great. With better direction, more information, and less platitudinal babble it could easily be an 8/10.
