This is an exceptional animation series by DreamWorks. Great CGI, passably decent story, good voice acting and directing. Retains viewer interest. For what it is (basically a Saturday morning series), it's pretty good.
Negative side, t has too many "crossover" episodes with a companion show called Troll Hunters. If one is binge watching on Netflix and hasn't done Troll Hunters, some parts may be confusing. The first time they did so was tolerable. The Nth time they did crossover stories it became annoying.
The show holds its visual integrity throughout, but the closer it gets to the end the more the story line seems to drag on. And on. And on. Fight after fight. Impossible situation after impossible situation. By the time it hit the final episode, I was ready for it to be the final episode.
Technically it is a superior series in every way. If I had to point to a single plot element and say "that didn't really work", it would be the main villain. Tired and cliche concept. They could have come up with something better than the evil supreme dictator concept. But somewhere in there they lost inertia and failed to regain it. An okay show and worth watching. Just be prepared for a yawner closing.
