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's a painfully obvious shtick, so camp and arch it's impossible to enjoy the joke.
The cast is charming, and no one has to work very hard.
It’s too soon to say Atlantis has a great destiny, but the signs are promising.
While one suspects Jason will have to wait a while before being reunited with that sub in which his journey began, about the best one can say regarding this leaky vehicle is that it proves slightly better than substandard.
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.
Ultimately, Atlantis feels less like a series than a tax write-off doubling as footage to play over a large television overlooking a Las Vegas slot machine.
