Season 1 Review: Nifty. ... It's a solid season of television, disappointing only in the context of the expansive terror that immediately preceded it. Read full review

THE BEST SHOW IVE EVER SEEN???? Such incredible world building and character development. Legitimately it's a feat of writing, they fit more content into the 10 minute episodes that many shows do with 50 minutes. It's one of the only things I genuinely believe everyone should watch.

Each season has improved upon the last and I never want this show to stop...until Book 8 which seems to be where show-runner Owen Dennis wants to end things. Here’s hoping for 5 more amazing seasons!!

Amazing. Any fan of Adventure Time or Steven Universe will be right at home in this cartoon that's just as much written for adults as it is kids. Every new episode introduces a new moral dilema, and a new peice to the puzzle.

Infinity Train is one of the best shows you can find on HBO Max. The series is not complete as of now, but there is hope to release 5 more seasons to wrap the in-depth world in a nice bow.

Infinity train Is the best anthology series that I have ever seen,each season Is unique and have a different points off view of the world of the train and with each season the series gets even darker and better,its a petty that its not as know as it deserves.

I remember hearing about the original pilot of the show way back and watching it. It was good. I wasn't expecting it to, somehow, turn into a really spectacular anthology series based around a different character with incredibly well-written characters with elements of mystery and horror.

I highly recommend watching the show. Its anthology approach to story-telling makes the show fresh and quite engaging. Also at short run-time of 10 episodes a season that are 11 minutes long it's a very brisk watch.… Expand

Which was rather strange considering that we had no other developed characters on the train and her story arc was complete, but their were still three more seasons left. This show gave me "post" Season 4 Adventure Time blues, a.k.a. when the show started going downhill and became this strangely serious blend of growing up/ adolescent emotional crap that basically ruined it. Likewise I had never even heard of "Infinity Train" until it was cancelled- now I'm starting to see why.

Though the morally gray area premise is certainly interesting, the show is too melancholy and the narrative is far too thin to hold out for twenty-two minute episodes where goofy side-characters (as well as far more interesting scenarios) show up literally before the episode actually starts. In one intro, a car full of baseball playing dinosaurs waves GOODBYE to our main trio, only for me to ask myself, "Why didn't they get a whole episode unto themselves?" The lack of identifiable or relatable characters places the show in an oddly stagnant position where we have to be told (as the audience) what lessons the main character has learned, whereas an intelligent show for children or young adults would leave that up to us to figure out. Hence the "glowing numbers" of good deeds accomplished or lessons learned ends up being a ham-fisted way of telling you what the moral of the episode was, which is usually fairly obvious stuff to anyone with two working brain cells.

The only other point I'll bring up (since the show obviously wasn't that popular) is that I wasn't a fan of the female protagonist, because she is written to act basically like a young teenage boy. I found it actually quite insulting that the main character is female, but comes off as a young girl written by an alien who then paraphrased that character to a male writer who then wrote down condensed notes like, "must be spunky," or "must act like a boy," or "overly emotional about everything." While a lot of these things are accurate for cartoon characters, they aren't necessarily true about every female protagonist and it may have actually hurt the show's demographics by featuring no strong male characters. If you thought Steven Universe was not dark enough, then you'll love this show. For anyone who liked the first two seasons of adventure time or the first season of the regular show, you might like Infinity train at first, but then it'll get too preachy or pretentious and lose your interest entirely.… Expand
