Now that exposition and origin stories are out of the way, the second season immediately feels more fantastical and flamboyant: the writing is effortlessly humorous, and the world-building is easier to understand. And the joy, hope and sense of fun are just as strong as they were in Season 1.

The second season of Percy Jackson And The Olympians starts off with a raucous episode and promises to send its heroes on a new quest immediately, which is exactly what an adventure series where we already know everyone should do.

Four episodes in, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is a satisfying improvement over an already rock-solid Season 1. The characters are more engaging, the action set pieces happen on a much grander scale, and the stakes feel higher than ever before.

What's Alan Watching?
Percy Jackson Season One was a vast improvement on the films, while also dealing with struggles of its own. Season Two begins in roughly the same place, but shows enough growth as it moves along to give me some optimism that Riordan and everyone else are starting to figure out how to translate what's worked so well in print to the small screen.

It's not going to win a slew of Emmys, but the show grows richer and deeper in the new season and establishes itself as a quality show that kids and grownups can sit down and watch together.

TheWrap
Even if the overall plot doesn’t feel as urgent, the more personal stakes help flesh out the characters. .... But “Percy Jackson” Season 2 does have some glaring issues. The dialogue in particular relies too much on exposition and often comes across as unnatural. The tone, as well, feels mismatched with the dialogue. Overall, the show takes a darker and more serious approach than the source material, which clashes with the characters’ constant Marvel-like quips and jokes.

The actors are older and more experienced at this point, but they're not really given too many opportunities to ... well, act. .... It's not a disaster, but it lacks the charm that made the original books so popular in the first place.

Title: The Death of Epic Fantasy: Where is the $15M per episode budget for Percy Jackson?​Review:​I am writing this not out of hate, but from the deep disappointment of someone who knows the potential of this story. Disney+ promised the definitive adaptation of Percy Jackson, but Season 2 is delivering a visually poor, narratively flat product that lacks the epic scale Greek mythology demands. As a subscriber, I feel cheated by a production that seems afraid of its own fantasy elements.​1. The "Water Bottle Effect": Humiliating the HeroIt is incomprehensible that the son of Poseidon—one of the "Big Three"—has his power reduced to spinning water in a guinea pig’s water bottle. In a series with a reported budget of $12-15 million per episode, this is an insult. In movies from a decade ago, we felt the ocean's power. Here, water seems to be the enemy of the CGI budget. Disney owns the technology behind 'Avatar: The Way of Water' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' yet they give us a Percy Jackson who barely gets wet. This is a staggering lack of creative ambition.​2. Invisible Monsters and Zero Physical InteractionAction direction in this season is non-existent. The Laestrygonian attacks are resolved with basic fireballs that look like free software plugins from 20 years ago. Even worse is the lack of interaction: characters scream at empty screens. When the Sea of Monsters' tentacles appear, there is no physical contact, no real danger, and no struggle. The monsters are just digital "stickers" in the corner of the frame. Without interaction between the hero and the threat, there is no tension; without tension, the audience gets bored.​3. Visual Stinginess: Hippocampi and BlackJackOne of the most anticipated moments was seeing the Hippocampi. The show’s response? Showing them in distant, blurry, dark shots. If Tyson didn’t name them, the viewer wouldn't even know what they were looking at. It’s a cheap trick to avoid rendering complex textures. The same goes for BlackJack: a three-second cameo that feels like checking a box rather than showing a majestic creature. They have turned the "Sea of Monsters" into a "Puddle of Excuses."​4. The Abuse of Exposition and "The Volume"The show suffers from "telling instead of showing." We spend 80% of the time listening to characters explain mythology in closed sets that feel claustrophobic due to the excessive use of LED screens (The Volume). They’ve lost the scale of the Greek world. It feels like a filmed play in a studio, not an epic journey. We have the books for the story; we expect VISUAL language from a TV show, but here, the language is austerity.​5. Conclusion: An Unacceptable Standard for DisneyWe cannot accept being treated as viewers without standards. The conformism of a segment of the fandom, celebrating anything just for "book faithfulness," is allowing Disney to lower the bar. Visually, this show is worse than movies from 15 years ago and far less epic than any reader’s imagination. If Disney doesn't increase investment in real CGI and ambitious action for Season 3, they will have buried one of the greatest franchises in YA literature. We want a real demigod, not a "decaf" version made to cut costs.
