I'll try to keep it simple.
PROS: 1. The art and animation are decent 2. The main villain Seraphim is nicely depicted, with some interesting background 3. The Giants look very good 4. There is an interesting twist at the very end, giving us a clue that there may be a Season 2.
CONS: 1. The story is basically about Hera getting mad at Zeus because he cheated on her. So, in order to get her revenge, she decided to kill Zeus and destroy the Olympus with the help of the Giants she brought back from the dead (of which only Hades should be capable). As if that isn't absurd enough, half of the Gods from Olympus decided to back her up. 2. The main protagonist Heron is dull, shallow and overly uninteresting, making it hard to like him. In almost every scene, he looks like a little girl who is about to cry. He is a son of Zeus that has no special power. That is, until the very end, where he is shown only as a pale copy of Zeus. 3. Only a few Gods actively participate in the story. All the others are there only as a decoration. They do nothing even when mortals come to casually visit the Olympus. 4. The supporting characters are poorly developed and some of them are completely out of place and given importance for no specific reason. 5. The Gods hardly show any interesting godlike abilities. Gandalf and Saruman have shown more power in LOTR. 6. Special attention was given to some epic weapons only to be completely forgotten a few episodes later. Generally, legendary godlike weapons are not shown. 7. Hardly any attention was paid to Giants and their powers 8. The Oneiroi were presented as particularly important but haven't done anything important 9. The ending is rushed and rather poor. The fates of Zeus and Hera are left unexplained and unclear. 10. Overall, this doesn't have much relation with actual mythology. I believe everything would be better if Netflix just made their own pantheon of gods with their own rules, without clinging to popular stories that have been re-told countless times.
CONCLUSION: Not worth watching
