That is our misconception concerning 'Gods.'
In modern times, Gods are supposed to be Omniscient, Omnipotent and All-caring and All-loving. Here to help humanity through our trials and tribulations and become our best selves.
Give or take, depending on your creed or scripture.
Whereas in Greek and Roman times, Gods were just real jerks. Like the worst of the worst. Just awful beings who didnt GAF about anyone but themselves.
'Love' humanity? For the most part they didn't even 'like' humanity, we were just rats in a cage who only served purposes for the Gods.
So in that aspect I liked the show, but it was a little too much at times, it got a little too carried away with itself, which may be accurate, but I found off-putting at times.
For instance some of the scenes often came off like acting students hamming it up in front of the class. I get what they were going for, but its too over-the-top.
