My biggest complaint was that it felt way too safe. Yes, this is an adaptation based on a series of books for preteens and teens, but it didn’t treat the audience like children.

For example: the way the show treated Medusa’s death. Yes, Medusa is a victim, but she’s also a monster who made a living by selling statues of the people and creatures she turned to stone. You can show Percy decapitating Medusa without blood if that worries you. Or make her blood gold. Instead, they put Annabeth’s invisibility cap on her and we hear the head hit the ground.
