Suggested by mr95
"A goddess unchained is either salvation or apocalypse. Usually both." Walking the world in mortal form for the first time in decades, Calypso — goddess of the sea, bound by no human law — becomes entangled in the lives of a small fishing village on a remote island she has cursed. She chose the curse, years ago, and has now forgotten why. The villagers' survival has become unexpectedly interesting to her. Season 1 follows her growing, confused attachment to mortal life. Season 2 follows the consequences when two factions — a cult that worships her and a navy that wants to weaponize her — collide on the island.
