I vaguely remember someone saying somewhere that maybe this show was somewhat decent. So under the premise of my foggy memory, I go ahead and add the first season to my queue. On a very lazy and un-eventful saturday, I casually watched a couple of episodes. Before you know it, I was torrenting the remaining two seasons. I would watch a 1/2 season pers a sitting. After finishing the whole series, I am ready to present my thoughts on this show.</p> <p>Let's start off with the obvious, this is a kids show. There's no way around that. There is no gory deaths or anything to that sorts. They keep things on a PG rated scale. Even though this is true, the action sequences are intense as they are ever going to get for any PG rated anything. I was on the edge of my seat at the amazingness they were able to accomplish without any cartoon blood being spilled.</p> <p>The writers of the show were able to create an immersive world that I was able to get sucked into the world that was created. The only fictional world I was able to get sucked into was the world of Harry Potter. I loved the little attention to details that the show took to accomplish this effect.</p> <p>Throughout the wonderful journey, I fell in love with the characters. They were all relatable, unique and charismatic. Each character was given time to grow and become in a non-Rocky type of way. I don't know if this is weird or not, but the show was extremely funny when it had to be. Does that mean I have the sense of humor of a 9 year old boy?</p> <p>The one huge gripe I had with the show was the dealing of the finale of the show. The show is a PG rated show and no one was killed or hurt or anything in the finale. I wanted a very similar good but dark ending that Harry Potter had. Nothing happened and I was left very unsatisfied with the finale.</p> <p>If I had watched this show when I was 10, I would have eaten this shit up. I am not 10, and I still thoroughly enjoyed the show.</p> 2009-06-11T13:58:00-07:00 505 1
