- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Omg, this was unintentionally entertaining, the voice actors did great but the production was all over the place, inconsistent accents, some sound about 12 years old, one sounds like it was recorded on a Zoom call, I swear I heard Dionysus break and laugh at some of his lines, the "chorus" is a single voice actor whose audio has been duplicated and sounds like a demon, nargle lord of chaos... I was grinning the whole time. Bravo.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Though I am new to mythology, Shakespeare, and translated works, this was a confusing one to understand. The characters had too much jumped from one to next. The lines did not fully connect, marking it confusing to hear the story.
