Forget everything you thought you knew about Hades. He’s not some grim, perpetually grumpy overlord plotting doom and gloom. He's just... a guy. A surprisingly chill guy, actually, trying to keep the lights on (or maybe just the eternally burning fires) in the Underworld, deal with a never-ending stream of paperwork (seriously, the bureaucracy of the afterlife is *intense*), and occasionally fend off misguided heroes trying to "rescue" people who are perfectly happy being dead. In this wildly inaccurate (but infinitely more fun) take on Greek mythology, you’ll follow Hades as he navigates the daily grind, attempts to manage his eccentric staff (looking at you, Cerberus, stop shedding on the throne!), and maybe, just maybe, finds time for a little... *romance*? Prepare for action (mostly involving misplaced souls and administrative errors), a surprising amount of heart, and the definitive answer to the question: what does the God of the Dead do on his day off? Spoiler: it involves comfy clothes and reality TV. Get ready to fall in love with the most misunderstood god in the pantheon.
