Now that exposition and origin stories are out of the way, the second season immediately feels more fantastical and flamboyant: the writing is effortlessly humorous, and the world-building is easier to understand. And the joy, hope and sense of fun are just as strong as they were in Season 1.
-
The second season of Percy Jackson And The Olympians starts off with a raucous episode and promises to send its heroes on a new quest immediately, which is exactly what an adventure series where we already know everyone should do.
-
In a darker Season 2, which boasts much higher stakes for the trio, Rick Riordan’s expansive world is only getting juicier and more robust.
-
Four episodes in, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is a satisfying improvement over an already rock-solid Season 1. The characters are more engaging, the action set pieces happen on a much grander scale, and the stakes feel higher than ever before.
-
Percy Jackson Season One was a vast improvement on the films, while also dealing with struggles of its own. Season Two begins in roughly the same place, but shows enough growth as it moves along to give me some optimism that Riordan and everyone else are starting to figure out how to translate what's worked so well in print to the small screen.

It's not going to win a slew of Emmys, but the show grows richer and deeper in the new season and establishes itself as a quality show that kids and grownups can sit down and watch together.
-
Now in its second season, Percy Jackson has firmly established itself as a solid coming-of-age tale bound to delight longtime fans—but not without some notable stumbles along the way.
-
The actors are older and more experienced at this point, but they're not really given too many opportunities to ... well, act. .... It's not a disaster, but it lacks the charm that made the original books so popular in the first place.
-
Even if the overall plot doesn’t feel as urgent, the more personal stakes help flesh out the characters. .... But “Percy Jackson” Season 2 does have some glaring issues. The dialogue in particular relies too much on exposition and often comes across as unnatural. The tone, as well, feels mismatched with the dialogue. Overall, the show takes a darker and more serious approach than the source material, which clashes with the characters’ constant Marvel-like quips and jokes.
