The Marvel Comics version of Hercules is basically what you would get if Thor drank a bit more.

Like his mythological counterpart Hercales, Marvel's Hercules is the son of Zeus. He has all the powers you would expect from a Greek god, such as strength, speed and agility, as well as an exceptionally high tolerance for alcohol. That's less of a power and more about practice. On top of all that, he is highly skilled with a variety weapons and unarmed combat styles.

Prior to Thor: Ragnarok, Hercules would have joined the MCU as a less serious version of the Thunder God. But as of that stellar movie, Thor became a less serious version of himself and has been far more interesting because of it.

Bringing Hercules in via a series focused on him makes perfect sense. He has a lot of potential storylines with all the characters already established in the MCU as well as watching him work out how to behave in modern society. It's a classic but highly intriguing concept.
