Blood Of Zeus Review: 9 Ups And 2 Downs

11. Down: Lacking Character Development

Starting with a bit of a miss before the big hits is the way this series, playing out like a rather well-developed, extended Hollywood film, introduces a few very interesting and fun characters, then promptly leaves them by the wayside.

While certain major characters get ample time in the spotlight, there is an unfortunate imbalance between them and their supporting cast. These characters start off with the audience begging to know more about them, then seem to disappear to make way for other, bigger character moments.

With character designs being one of the strengths of this show, there's an unintended side effect in which those who seem visually intriguing, with personality quirks shining through without a single word of dialogue, are shoved aside, sometimes even used as canon fodder of the Star Trek redshirt variety. Other characters who seem like they'd do more lose screen-time as the series sprints toward the climax, relegated to small throwaway lines that disappoint.

If a second season is planned, hopefully those still left might get bigger roles in future episodes.
