i kinda want to describe this as "succession" meets netflix adaptation of the grisha trilogy, except greek, but that makes it sound way cooler and sleeker than it is. a bunch of powerful but completely inept immortal teenagers squabble over family dynamics. i don't mean that as a complaint- the complete inability of these characters to ever successfully do one single thing was actually what charmed me. i feel like usually in these deadly court dramas, everyone is a master manipulator pulling at strings. here, everyone is 200 years old and no one has managed to cultivate any strategic thinking skills in that amount of time whatsoever. it's refreshing and comedic. stars knocked off because it does drag on in between the failures.
