This series could definitely fit the description of what I said was needed for D+. As long as it is not so hokey like the movies, it could be really great. I HOPE it gets greenlit really soon.

I never read the books, but the people I know that did (like my wife) said the movies just strayed too far fro the books. I didn't mind the first movie, but the 2nd wasn't great. This type of content should work well as a show. They just need to stay true to the source material.

Eh... they shoulda folded this into the Marvel Universe. Greek Gods exist there. We could be sure of quality control there.

The Olympians exist in DC too (just look at Wonder Woman's origins), they aren't exclusive to Marvel. Although being a Marvel fan I wouldn't mind an Olympians MCU film.
