so-so
A superbly engaging first half that descends into a "I gotta get this finished & move on with my life"-type second half, hence the so-so. I thought the skewering of the ideals of the rich was spot on & eternally relevant. Aristophanes goes all in on the gods, who emerge looking like the children of Logan Roy. Assemblywomen & Wealth are supposedly where Old Comedy morphs into Middle Comedy? Thus the awkward growing pains apparent in the structure.

batsy @merelybookish Thank you! 😆 All I could think about was Scrooge McDuck lol. 1y
batsy @CarolynM Haha! Hermes was so entitled and slimily opportunistic in this one that he reminded me of Roman 😆 Shiv as Artemis is perfect, actually. And Dionysus as season 3 Kendall. Season 1 Kendall could be Ares. Connor's the tough one! 1y
LKK526 I love your I gotta finish this and get on with my life. Exactly the way I feel sometimes 😃 1y
batsy @LKK526 Absolutely! A very relatable feeling 😁 1y
Suet624 “The children of Logan Roy” was so descriptive. 1y
