The finale, "Atlantis: The End," is a masterclass in how to almost stick the landing. It is bold. It is tragic. It kills off a main character in a way that feels earned.
Binge-watching this pack reveals a jarring tonal shift. Episode 3 is a somber meditation on death. Episode 4 features a musical number with a cyclops. The Complete Pack does not smooth over these whiplash transitions.
Rent it first. If the death of Medusa makes you tear up, buy the pack. If you roll your eyes at Jason’s brooding, walk away.
Format: DVD/Blu-ray Box Set (Typically 3-4 Discs) Genre: Historical Fantasy / Family Adventure Original Network: BBC One (2013-2015) The Verdict: A Gloriously Messy, Mythological Rollercoaster If Series 1 of Atlantis was the awkward, exposition-heavy pilot episode of a D&D campaign, Series 2 is the moment the Dungeon Master throws out the rulebook, cranks up the drama, and kills off your favorite character just to see you cry. This Complete Pack is an essential, albeit flawed, purchase for fans of Merlin or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys .
