For those interested in creature models — both practical physical models and vfx — as well as anything Monsterverse or kaiju in general, this new AppleTV official featurette is a ‘must see.’
When to see it will depend on your interest in or willingness to be spoiled as it does give some things away about what’s upcoming in season two of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
It seems to make clear that Le Gran Dios de la Mar aka “Titan X” is a wholly new creation for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. There remains nonetheless much to speculate about.

Is this show any good?
Actually, yes.
It has very high viewership globally. It was top ranked on Apple in the US and Asia, and much of Europe, although relatively less in CANZUK countries where the Togo Godzilla franchise is less well known.
However, as always, there are personal preferences.
It has the AppleTV resources so, the vfx and Titan action scenes are always excellent.
As a live-action television show, it leans more to mystery/skullduggery and character drama compared to a cinematic feature. Also, the first season is designed as an entry point for audiences and demographics with no previous experience with the franchise so it’s a slow build.
If you enjoyed Kong: Skull Island, you will likely enjoy this show.
All this means is that if all you want to see is kaiju fighting, this may not be for you.
Two EPs in, I like S1 better…and I’m too lazy to explain why. 👣
I’ll be curious to know if episode 3 hits better for you.
It seems that there was a decision to respond to the ‘more action, more monsters’ complaints about season one from the movie franchise fans.
