How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.

Troy
Troy should have won the Trojan war! They had Aphrodite, Apollo, and Artemis on their side against Athena! Great pod but I don’t like the Greeks or Athena (I think Arachne should become the goddess of weaving) do more Artemis episodes!
