    The premiere episode of the Syfy series Olympus was panned by the reviewer as one of the worst TV shows they had ever seen. The production values were extremely low budget, with bad green screen effects that lacked depth and realism. While Syfy shows like Dominion at least had solid acting and some location shooting, Olympus had the cheapest, most unbelievably bad production quality, akin to a low budget Sci-Fi channel movie from the 1990s. It aimed to be a fantasy drama like Game of Thrones but was executed in a way that made its lack of budget comically distracting.

    They aren't even screenshots. They're official stills from Syfy's Olympus,
    promotional snaps intended to sell you on the the network's new
    mythology-influenced drama. And you're sold now, right? If you didn't
    seek out Olympus during its debut episode last night, I'm telling you right
    now that you have to, because this sucker is absolutely one of the worst
    things I've ever seen on TV.
    If you've been thinking that Syfy has descended into some cheesy-bad
    territory as of late with projects like Z Nation and Dominion, you haven't
    seen anything yet. I watched every episode of Dominion's first season,
    and that show at least had the decency to cast some solid actors, shoot
    on location every once in a while, and play around with the conventions of
    the nonsensical, religion-driven, post-apocalyptic stories it was telling.

    Olympus wants to be a kind of Game of Thrones-esque Swords &


    Sandals-type show, but done in the cheapest, most unbelievably bad
    way possible. HBO spends more money on Game of Thrones' map
    budget than Syfy shelled out here. Olympus's greenscreen work is
    straight out of '90s-era video games, to the point where the lack of depth
    in the majority of the scenes is comically distracting. The result is akin to
    something Sci-Fi would've aired at 2am in 1994.
