So far I’m really enjoying the new TMNT series. I have seen the first 4 episodes so far and always look forward to watching another episode of the series.
I am a fan of the 1987 TMNT series and this one reminds of it, except to me done a little bit better. Also the action is good as the 2003 TMNT series, even though I was not as big of a fan for that series.
For those unsure of the series, don’t be, give it a chance.
As for a sort of spoiler, the whole thing with Donatello having a crush on the now teenage April, I actually kind of like and look forward to being developed over the course of the series. And I know, there are those weirded with idea of 1. Having a mutant turtle being in love with a human and April being a Teen instead of an adult, but this is my opinion.
Again, give this series a shot!

I grew up on the old series from the 80′s, and I watched a little bit of the 03 series as well, and to be honest I was a little wary when I heard that they were going to be doing a new series, but when I actually sat down and watched it I loved it. The creators obviously knew what they were doing when they started working on this, giving throwbacks to both previous series and the original comic. I would definitely recommend a watch to anyone. TURTLE POWER!!

I’ll begin by saying that I was wrong. I’m of the generation that lived and breathed the 1987 Ninja Turtles. I first saw the trailer for this cartoon and thought it was a cheap CGI ripoff of the franchise.
But then I watched the first episode and fell in love all over again. It made me feel the way I did all those years ago growing up with the Turtles. Except, unlike the 1987 cartoon, which hasn’t aged well, this show looks and feels fresh. The 87 cartoon was corny and the animation was often inconsistent at best. By contrast, the writing for this series is actually pretty decent for a cartoon. Each episode is self-contained, but I like how the build upon a larger story with some continuous characters and elements. The action is well paced but also allows time for character moments. Best of all, the show is genuinely funny. Not goofy, corny, “I can’t believe I’m watching this” funny, but some real “laugh out load” moments.
I think this show has potential to revive the Ninja Turtles franchise. I dare say it might even be better than the 1987 series in some ways. Definitely recommended.
