    It’s too soon to say Atlantis has a great destiny, but the signs are promising.

    As long as you're not a classic mythology purist or looking for something more than a fun, occasionally hilarious sword 'n' sandal romp, Atlantis is a fine, family-friendly addition to BBC America's Supernatural Saturday.

    It will certainly fill viewers minds with misshapen mythology, but does so in a fairly charming, family-friendly way.

    The 13-part series feels like a G-rated version of that HBO hit, without the top-notch writing and production. Even so, it’s decent, family-friendly escapism for fans of supernatural TV.

The three main characters seem to have good chemistry and the costume and music design are both really impressive. The show's flaws are obvious though.
