It seems the reviewer has a thing againts the Turtles, but enough of that I will continue with the review! This a very good show, it is darker and edgier than the original cartoon and closer to it's Mirage Comic Book roots. Since it's closer to the comics it is darker and more violent, the violence might concern some parents though. The series also has serialized story lines, moslty in comic book stlye where most stories are stand-alone but build upon a larger story arc. This has been one of the better "kids" shows on television right now. Though the TMNT franchise should really aim toward sit's adult and teenage aduiance since kid-friedn;y turtles havent worked since the original cartoon. Overall I reccomend this cartoon, parents who dislike violence might want to stay away.
