    Johnson's takes an old idea and delivers a totally new spin on it. It is very kiwi, and will take some googling to decode the slang here and there, but I was never sadder about a show cancellation than I was about this... and that says something, I was and still am sad about Farscape. The budget is low, but the stories are compelling they keep you guessing and very suddenly make youJohnson's takes an old idea and delivers a totally new spin on it.

    Johnsons recalls Buffy in its wit, sharp undercurrents (dig the cheeky-deadly female deities questing to end the dominance of dunder-headed patriarchy), and endearingly lo-fi production. Caution, though: accents! [18 Jul 2014, p.60]

    The writing is decent, with flashes of sideways wit.

    It’s difficult to judge The Almighty Johnsons from its pilot episode, but the blend of humor and Norse Gods lore does fit in well with Syfy’s penchant for light, fantasy dramas, but those series also tend to be fairly forgettable.
