Myths & Monsters

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.

It is a nice and very instructive introduction to mythology. Small sketches, perfect host - presenter, nice interventions of specialists. Sure, far to be ideal or the best example of accuracy and objectivity in few cases but a good start to birth questions, to search, yourself, informations, read books from scientific ones to epopes and novels, discover influences to contemporanity. So, good kick first steps .

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.

The artwork is stunning. The host is very amiable and well spoken, he's very easy to listen to. The experts are very knowledgeable and bring up lots of information about the background of the myths. I never knew there was so much amazing mythology. It has increased my interest in mythology and I learned a lot.

It's a lot of talking for some, but if you're interested in fiction and are looking for something to inspire your creativity, I would recommend this.

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.
