I really wanted to love this, but outside of a very few characters (Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Marcie & Snoopy come to mind) the voices were contrived, irritating, and sounded like someone said, "voice this like how you imagine a Peanuts character would sound" instead of trying to be true to the past.
It was also a little too "this is what we know about Peanuts" so we're going to go with stereotypical things peanuts characters do - i.e. Linus sits in a pumpkin patch, Lucy has a pysch booth, etc.. Add in an irritating amount of modernization thrown in (like "newbie"). This would be fine, but pick a lane.
I still watched it and nominally liked it, but if they're doing further shorts, they either need to stay with the old, tried and true Peanuts, or choose modernity and go all in.
