I think it's important to remember that this is book 1, an easy comparison is movie 1 of Harry Potter, and if you analyze movie 1 of Harry Potter you'll find a lot of the same things you guys were complaining about in this, such as lack of tension and danger for the majority of the story, some occasionally questionable acting from the children (although I'd say these kids are better than the trio was in movie 1 of Harry Potter already). But the tension and danger will increase each season, and from what we know about season 2 they're going to be increasing that a bit faster even than the books did. Similar to Harry Potter though, the story gets darker and more dangerous as the books progress. I think you guys did yourselves a disservice watching the movies first, because those movies were made as teen action movies in the era of Hunger Games and Twilight. And it gave you a false assumption that this is an action series, when it's really not. It tends to be more drama/mystery/adventure similar to Harry Potter. This is part of the reason the movies are so hated.

It also makes sense narratively that the mythical world feels more mythical than the real world ๐๐๐๐ . Iโm going to have to fully disagree about Them having no chemistry . The show was a hit , itโs why they got 2 renewals and now a bigger budget . I personally believe Luke is far more well written in the show than the books . In the book he does it for the love of the game at first . Unlike the book and movie I think Luke will be a more compelling antagonist going forward because they showed us the glimpse of the gods he sees . We are not really supposed to disagree with his ideologies.
