At first--it's looks like a madcap weird but seemingly predictable comic style story about some guys and gals with strange, unwanted powers trying to cope while running from shadowy Gov't trackers.

And on that superficial level, it works---and yes, it can get corny at times...but in a fun "Everyone's in on the Joke' way.

But underneath that, You will start to notice how the dialogue and the characters seem to constantly circle back to the question and the well-known Trope about "Mad Scientists & Monsters"

And there's an unexpected nuance there:

What makes a Monster?

What makes a Scientist 'Mad'?

Everywhere in stories, there's the plain boring nerdy scientist that no-one cares about.

There's the focused genius Scientist There's the Visionary Scientist There's the misguided Scientist There's the corrupt Scientist There's the Evil Scientist There's the Crazy Scientist

...And then there the Mad Scientist.

And why is it that Mad Scientists always seem to make Monsters?

One Line caught my attention: "I'm not unprincipled. I'm undaunted."

Delivered with straightforward, believable deadpan honesty it made me blink.

"Yeah," I thought. "That's what makes a Scientist a Mad Scientist."

All that said-- I found the story, the characters and the snappy repartee to be a very entertaining watch.

But most of all, the end of the series had a nice twist... It locked in the TITLE of the series.

If you get it...it's a nice rhetorical snap.

Too many People may be expecting a hoot-a-minute a la American Dad...or something like clone of Rick and Morty...

It's not. It's its own thing. It's about the Gods and Mortals and this weird new thang called: 'Civilization'. It's using the Greek Pantheon of Olympus, but it's not gonna follow History exactly... It's not about Greece. It's just using the whole thing as a setup.

Listen to the dialogue: it's about Humans running into this thing about rules and society. It's about the Gods and how they see things.

My favorite character is the goddess Deleria: She's not a clueless bimbo. She's a sharp-tongued God who lays out a lot of very incisive and insightful observations about Men: But just from a God's point of view.

"Oh, must everything you mortals don't understand become a folk tale?"

Or...

"Of course we have a relationship between Gods and Mortals for thousands of years: It's called Worship!"

From a God's mindset, everything she says is hilarious--yet makes perfect sense!

The first thing that hits me is the style of animation--Sleek & clean and structured.

It's nice to see someone NOT putting out the usual Asian style Anime. At first, the characters may seem somewhat thin and bland--but then not notice attention paid to eye contact, facial expressions, the slight upturns of the mouth, the cool frowns...

The Facial Expressions are THERE...but without the exaggeration of the anime face expression sets or face emoticons we now normally see like, EVERYWHERE.

And oh...I can't help it but notice: No SHOUTING/SCREAMING just because the character is excited.

The next is that I like the future this story portrays: NOT Apocalyptic. NOT Dystopian...

It's Just...the FUTURE. Like many a Future I would like to read about and imagine myself in. Space Travel is now a normal thing. People are still People. Corporations are still corporations...but GOSH...I'd like to be able to LIVE in this future.

And Robots and AI and others EVERYWHERE.

It starts off as a PI/Detective procedural... then it gets snappier...with lots of snazzy action as a conspiracy slowly unveils.

In a way, I felt chords of.'Ghost in the Shell' in the fundament of the storyline--but moving along a different, freer social tone.

But pay attention to the dialogue... Because as you may note from some other reviews: The Focus of the Story is not who you think.

When you hold this thought--The End will make sense.
