I watched this on Saturday thinking it might be something like Merlin which I enjoyed. But this is absolute rubbish! Travesty of Greek mythology, though Greek myths would in themselves make quite good drama.

Complete rubbish wasn't it?

Merlin was a slight travesty of the King Arthur legend! grin

Atlantis might just need time. But I doubt it.

They were filming it at Puzzlewood when we took the grandsons there in August. (filmed a lot of Merlin there)

Oops! Sorry everyone but I'm rather enjoying it blush I hated Merlin and didn't watch it.

It's just a bit of harmless Saturday night family viewing, not a lesson in mythology.
My grandson loved Merlin but his sister would not watch it as it frightened her. She has watched Atlantis without it having any bad effect on her so far.
I just like laughing at the mistakes, although I do not know that much about the legend of Atlantis. I cannot remember it coming into any mythology I taught.
