    It's like a team of really talented horses being run by really bad carriage drivers. Looks great, sounds great, seems great on the surface. But the plot just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I kept watching, hoping and assuming that everything would be brought together and cleverly ended. It didn't.
    It's tough to distinguish how much I enjoyed it, and how much was just me rationalizing and    It's like a team of really talented horses being run by really bad carriage drivers.

    I really tried to like this show but found it too childish.

    A show from the creators of Avatar and Korra, which tackled mature themes, had an interesting plot with complex characters. This show, unfortunately, incorporates none of those. Instead, we are left with bland , cliched and annoying characters and villains. not to mention the number of plot holes and plot points we just have    I really tried to like this show but found it too childish.

    Instead, we are left with bland , cliched and annoying characters and villains. not to mention the number of plot holes and plot points we just have to go with because the script said so.

    It's a real shame for a show that tries to capitalize on the nostalgia does nothing to entertain its older fans only seems to cater to children.    … Expand

    The series succeeds as an action cartoon for kids, but there’s not much here for adults who don’t have a nostalgic attachment to the original series.

    Voltron Legendary Defender is a worthy successor to the original series that stays true to its roots, though its ambition is tempered by its adherence to tradition.

    Is it good? Sure it is. Does it better its predecessor? Your cherished memories aside, that is a bar set low. So, yes, it does better them--by quite a lot and, at the same time significantly, not by too much. That is to say, for all its improvements in form and content, it has not sacrificed fundamental candy-colored cheesiness for fashionable dark modernity.
