Is the show perfect? Absolutely not. The CGI isn't great and the pacing Is very fast. However, as someone who loved reading the series when I was in middle school, I love how much this reminds me of the books.
At first I wasn't sure about the casting choices, but after watching the show for a few episodes, I really think the actors do an excellent job of portraying their roles. The kid that plays the younger version of Ryan Reynolds is charismatic as hell on the screen and he and the girl who play Annabeth have great chemistry. Definitely above average performances for young actors in my opinion.
I am looking forward to see how they continue to expand the show into the following books because I'll never forget how disappointed I was at how inaccurate the Sea of Monsters movie adaptation. By the looks of this first season so far, I think we are going to get something a lot more accurate to the books. Not perfect, but definitely good enough to sit and watch for 40 minutes.
