Atlantis (BBC) - Episodes 4-6 Review
I'm still not a massive fan of the series, but it is growing on me. Here is my scores for the past three episodes:
EPISODE 4:
An episode made mostly for laughs sees the trio and Medusa looking after a baby, who Pasiphae wants dead, but why?
A very entertaining episode with plenty of laughs to be had, but some poor green screen really takes you out of the action. Atlantis' best episode so far, without a doubt. (9/10)
EPISODE 5:
An episode that focusses on Areadne's character a bit more, and explores her history with her brother, and builds up suspicion for Pasiphae...
The episode is quite interesting but adds very little to Areadne's character, which I had hoped. It explained why she hated her mother so, and Alexander Siddig got to do a lot more as Minos. Areadne's brother seems a bit odd all of the way through, and you are not sure exactly whether to trust him or not. This builds on a strange arc, but the series is steering away from the actual 'Atlantis' elements, becoming more of a Merlin series. (7/10)
EPISODE 6:
An episode focussed around Hercules on Medusa that seems to turn to "series set-up" half-way through.
An entertaining story that focusses around Hercules and Medusa, spoilt by an ending that does not see how Medusa actually reacts to all of this. The set-up is becoming boring, as there is way too many questions to answer by now, and we're only half-way through Series 1. (7/10)
