Today was an early morning, a long day of travel, a stressful afternoon at work . . . but somewhere in the middle of that, I remembered that today is Percy Jackson Day and that makes all the difference.
PSA: The first two episodes of the new Disney+ show Percy Jackson and the Olympians are out. You can watch them right now.
My mom and I watched them together this evening; I got lucky and she’s also a big fan after reading the series twice.
I am thrilled with the show so far — it’s obvious Rick Riordan co-created and co-wrote. The new flavors on the stories from the books still feel authentic and true to the story’s heart (something the movie deviations a decade ago didn’t manage). I won’t give anyway any spoilers so you’ll have to watch it for yourself.
There will be eight episodes in this first season which will cover book one of the series. There are two out now and the rest will drop weekly on Wednesdays.
With Love,
Natalie
