I've read some interesting reviews about this show, now that I've watched it, I can agree with lots of points, and disagree strongly with others.
The main issue, the absence of He-Man, it's very true we don't get a lot of him, he is sacrificed for 80% of it, and we're given Teela.
The animation is superb I thought, I loved it, it's modern, but it doesn't feel a million miles away from the classic series, the stories of course, you won't recognise any original characteristics there.
The best of the villains here for me, Scare Glow, absolutely first rate, that's perhaps the best episode too.
The real star of the show is Lena Headey, who voices Evil Lyn, her voice is captivating, and I think it's fair to say that she's the most interesting character here, she isn't forced on us, instead she naturally shines through, we aren't made to think she's incredible....ahem Teela.
I don't love it, I didn't hate it, it's watchable, and nostalgic, 6/10.
