Jason washes up on the shores of a mysterious and ancient land that is full of bull-leaping, snake-haired goddesses and vast palaces. It is the land of Atlantis. Beneath its surface lies a dark past and a web of treachery. While there in search of his father, Jason becomes embroiled in a perilous game of politics and power from which there is no escape. Assisted by studious Pythagoras and overbearing Hercules, he embarks on a voyage of discovery and salvation that takes the trio through many Greek myths and legends.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may be a bit sloppy at times, but Atlantis succeeds as a giddy mixture of mythology and pulp fantasy with a charming and family-friendly vibe.

This opener doesn't quite muster enough of a balance between humour and horror. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 11/18/2014
Are those the screams of the Therans as their breastplates are punctured by those nasty, pointy Colchian swords? Or the screams of classical scholars as their beloved stories are torn apart, smashed like Grecian urns, then stuck back together all wrong? Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 11/22/2013
There's a certain sloppiness to this latest mythological mishmash. Go to Full Review Sabienna Bowman TV Equals 11/25/2013
As pilots go, "The Earth Bull" sped along too quickly for my taste, but the action was quality, the characters a joy to watch and the special effects weren't half bad either. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 11/22/2013
Atlantis is almost as cheesy as one of those Syfy Saturday-night horror spoofs. Go to Full Review Matt Fowler IGN Movies 11/22/2013
It has a juvenile confidence that will serve it well, hearkening back to the likes of our own international productions Xena: Warrior Princess and (even) Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Joshua M @RT43979886 12/06/2024 Fun fantasy adventure show, reminds me of Merlin. See more 11/29/2021 Honestly I loved it. Sad to have only two seasons. I think it would have come into it's own even more given time. I loved the original Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts as a kid and this has the same feel to it. Greek mythology is endless source material and I loved the cast, the friendships between the men, the love story, and the action. I love a fun fantasy action show and this one was a delightful watch. See more Justin B @RT19991588 06/24/2021 Great show, very enjoyable. A fun twist on Ancient Greek myth. It's nice to have a fun adventure that is not overly dark, graphic, and crude. like most of recent television See more corkball @RT87142816 06/16/2021 Uhm, Atlantis isn't going to win any awards. The storyline is pulp, they butcher classic Greek stories, acting and production qualities are so-so. It reminds me a lot of the Kevin Sorbo Hercules show. That said, like Hercules, it is light-hearted episodic romping around if you don't want to think too hard. It also seems mercifully free of the woke politics stuff. I have no idea why they made the main character from the present day world. Maybe that will come in to play later. See more 11/15/2019 I love it because is very good See more 05/01/2019 Predictable and boring. See more Read all reviews
