All of these deep philosophical lessons that stem from a cartoon and the reiteration of them, while sometimes overbearing, beats it into your head that the world and the people in it are complex. Go to Full Review

Although this is an animated series, this is show is made for all ages. It's adventurous and funnier than you might expect, thanks to the help and comedic timing of Carmen's Bostonian brother and sister sidekick duo. Go to Full Review

Jesse K 03/21/2023 This show really surprised me. Less educational than the original perhaps, but still worked in afresh. A solid reinvention of the strong female lead, this show feels like the perfect saturday morning cartoon. A little edgy, but still family friendly. A perfect combination of Mission impossible, Daredevil, and Kung Fu Panda-- fun, witty, action-packed, entertaining and gorgeous animation (Spiderverse style). This is a winner I may be returning to more than once-- even before I get to watch with my own kids. Still need to finish Season 4, but hats off to you Netflix for a job well done. This is how you resurrect a franchise for a modern audience See more 12/22/2021 This review is for the whole series in general. A polished gem from an old gem made for a new generation told with new twists and different angles to make new and interesting stories and characters. Made for a family friendly watch but is definitely a must watch for anyone interested in good animation, story musical score and characters. The only thing that I would see that would be off putting by some maybe would be the "edutainment" part of the show that is obviously a homage to the old shows. See more 02/23/2021 A pretty good action show. The thing that disappointed me most is that the animators are payed low. Very entertaining and makes you want to keep watching.
