Too bad Ian Bohen didn't stay on with the series. Ryan Gosling is a fine actor, but he does not have the quirkiness that Ian Bohen did when he played Young Hercules in "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys." And the chemistry among Hercules, Iolaus, and Jason just isn't quite the same. But you still got to love Kevin Smith as Ares, the god of Warhe was just so good at being bad.
The worst part is that the series just stops mid-stream. They should have done one more year and wrapped things up. They could have at least covered the items brought up in "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys" for example: Lilith getting pregnant with Jason's child and Hercules and Nemesis' relationship. At least the viewers wouldn't have been left just hanging with no conclusions or closures. They talk about fan/viewer loyaltyhow about reciprocating some of that loyalty to the viewers??? Don't get us hooked just to slam the door in our faces!! I liked the series very much and would have liked to see it continued.
There is one odd part in this series thoughHercules has other mortal half-brothers fathered by Zeus (Pollux, Castor, and Lucius). In "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys," there was only one other half-mortal/half-god mentioned and it was indicated that they were the only two half-mortals/half gods that existed (Hercules and Aphrodite's son, Deon, in "The Power" Season 2 Episode 22). So Hercules just forgot about the other three in the Legendary Journeys??? (I know Young Hercules was filmed after The Legendary Journeys, but the writers should have paid more attention to details.)
