Disenchantment Returns for Season Two

Published

on

Disenchantment season 1 was interesting. Even though it has an all-star cast and is created by the same people who made The Simpsons, some of the episodes were hit or miss. The characters of Beanie, Luci and Elfo at times grated my ears and some of the episodes were just annoying.

I figured this show didn’t have the sustaining intrigue as Simpsons or Futurama. With the way season 1 ended, it actually intrigued me as to how they will branch off from the kingdom of Dreamland and where were Beanie and her mom going? This review will have some spoilers. We will talk about the episode and what we can predict will come as the season continues.

Where we left Beanie and her mother, they were getting on a boat heading somewhere. They land in Maru (a desert kingdom) that is birthplace of Beanies’ mother. They meet her aunt, uncle and Jerry, who have ruled the land. Jerry has the brain of a ten year old and the aunt and uncle are a bit off-putting and seem to have a hidden agenda.

Throughout the episode, Beanie is trying to uncover the secrets that have been hidden from her. Each time she gets close, something stops her and is ultimately put to an end. During one of the evenings, she is told that she is part of a prophecy and needs to have a crown screwed into her head and thus the family will have fortune and power.

Beanie rejects that and fights with her mother along the way, since her mom is the one who turned Dreamland into stone and is fine with sacrificing her own daughter. After a fought battle, Beanie finds Luci and they find a way to communicate with the departed Elfo through a magic fire. Luci told him to go to hell, so they can resurrect him. Luci plunged ahead into a secret stairway to hell and Beanie is left behind. The entrance gets blocked, but the only way out is going down to hell.

This episode almost felt rushed with building up the eventual payoff of Beanie and Luci going to Hell. They could have milked out the awkwardness of the relatives and maybe have more of a setting in the land of Maru, but I guess they will leave all the uniqueness to when they are in hell. Jerry was the lone entertaining character that really didn’t push the plot forward, but added some humor to the story. I liked him and I hope he will return in some way, maybe in hell. The episode was entertaining, but not really laugh out loud funny.

It kept my interest and I am eager to see what will unfold as the season continues. If this is the level of humor that they are willing to do, then I’m just hoping it will continue to be entertaining. I hope we get the robot devil in the background as a cameo. Who wouldn’t love the robot devil showing up?

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
