The first two episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians are out now on Disney+! This adaptation of Rick Riordan's book series aims to do what the pair of 2010 Percy Jackson movies couldn't: entertain people.

The first two episodes are entitled "I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher" and "I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom," both pretty self-explanatory. There are eight episodes total in this first season. Here's when you can watch the rest:
