Watching the pilot and the subsequent two episodes, I had my doubts. The CGI, particularly the background 'sets' of gigantic statues were preposterous... yet, I had an inkling and a hope.
So, I waited.
I have just finished watching episode 12 with one to go, and it would appear that my suspicions were correct.
This is not the Greek mythology we all know. This is a SyFy, or SciFi, production. Those of you who have read Dan Simmons' "Olympos" know what I'm talking about - those who don't, read a synopsis of that book.
Since the silly, semi-comedy pilot, the characters have grown and the acting has become more polished. I now find myself disliking 'Hero' - not because of his acting, but because of the character development. He's now an anti-hero, in my eyes.
Give it a shot. Yes, it might get canceled, but it's looking like the ending will be fairly epic and won't be too much of a cliffhanger.
