That doesn&#8217;t mean we&#8217;re out of fun, though. In fact, this a particularly big week for premieres and finales. Syfy&#8217;s rolling out its new show\u00a0<em>Olympus<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Outlander<\/em>&#8216;s finally back for the second half of its first season,\u00a0<em>Salem<\/em>\u00a0returns for season two, and\u00a0<em>Archer<\/em>\u00a0closes out season six.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the week in TV below.

Only, you know, with gods and cyclopses and swords and stuff. When I saw the first trailer for the show, it felt like a series willing to take every single crazy scrap of Greek mythology it could find, throw it in a blender and just take off, complete with basic cable special effects and a lead character name Hero. It&#8217;s not subtle, to be sure, but hey, who said a TV show has to be subtle to be fun? We&#8217;ve seen more than one genre series lately blast off to success by embracing what it is and running with it, whether that be bonkers alternate history (<em>Sleepy Hollow<\/em>) or post-apocalyptic madness (<em>Z Nation<\/em>). Will\u00a0<em>Olympus<\/em>\u00a0find a similar place for itself? We&#8217;ll see. This week, Hero must rescue the Oracle of Gaia in hopes that she can help him solve the riddle of his own past.
