You Should Watch This Perfect 100% Scored Netflix Show This Week

Netflix At this point it’s well-established that Netflix is doing good work with a lot of its animated productions, and many of them, from Arcane to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, are some of the highest scored series on the entire service. But one show can often get overlooked because it’s not adapting a big video game. That would be Blood of Zeus, which will return for its third season on Thursday, May 8 this week. Why should you bother with an animated series based on Greek Mythology? Well, how about the fact that it’s really, really good. Both seasons of Blood of Zeus have a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, something we almost never see in the entire scope of Netflix content. It also has a 92% audience score with a 97% just for season 2, so many fans are expecting something similar out of season 3. Blood of Zeus Here’s the synopsis for Blood of Zeus: “A commoner living in ancient Greece, Heron discovers his true heritage as a son of Zeus, and his purpose: to save the world from a demonic army.” If the animation looks familiar, it’s because it’s the same place that did Castlevania on Netflix, Powerhouse Animation Studio, still doing work on Castlevania Nocturne as well. And if you’ve seen either Castlevania, you know how good that animation is. This is in fact the final season of Blood of Zeus, ending on its own terms. That means when season 3 airs this week, you’ll be able to binge the entire series, which is about four hours per season of eight, half hour episodes. You can’t say that about all that many shows on Netflix at this point. Blood of Zeus is a unique Netflix production as it’s not an adaptation of anything, but rather an original work created by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides for Netflix specifically. They did once say they were going to shoot for five seasons, but ultimately it was condensed into two. There are at least some echoes of the ultra-hyper violent God of War, the famed video game series, and that is getting a live-action adaptation on Amazon Prime Video down the road. But God of War certainly does not have a monopoly on Greek Mythology (just ask Christopher Nolan). Blood of Zeus I would highly recommend Blood of Zeus even if I haven’t seen season 3 in advance. The level of quality has been stellar and it’s nice to watch something fully original for a change. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Bluesky and Instagram .
