Level Up

With CartoonNetwork improving the shows they air, I was fairly excited for a show to mainly revolve around gamers. How wrong I was. When I first watched the movie/premiere, I was sicken. With unoriginal writing and mostly unbearable acting, I couldn't stand it. But when I found out they were going to make a show out of it I almost exploded with anger. This show is probably on of the worst I've ever seen. My 8 year old son said the show was bad. And the way they perceive the gaming community is terrible. In this show two of the 3 main characters are social rejects and the one who is popular is a "closet gamer." And while this on might just bother the gamers, the few clips they showed of the game they mostly played looked like a terrible version of WoW only for 5 year old children. Easily the least entertaining show made over the past 10 years.

I don't understand or like this show myself but the show is not made for me it is made for my kids. If you have young teen or "tween" kids they would have loved this show, I know ours did.

First, I think the target audience of young adults would give this a higher rating than it actually has as this is not meant for a general audience.

Having played online role playing games, this appealed to me instantly, and I wasn't disappointed. The acting is fine, the dialogue isn't especially spectacular, but the story is original and fun. The special effects are really pretty good for the budget I would suppose this show has.

All in all its a fun show to watch and I would recommend for people who have played online games or role playing games in general.

Take it for what it is.

so far, the episodes of have been very cheesy and poorly written, hence it's a kid's show.

there is some originality, but when phrases like, "resistance is futile" start showing up in non-Star Trek TV series, it just ruins it. admittedly that's from the pilot episode, which is a movie *i think*. the other episodes seem to be much more entertaining.

thankfully the acting is not as bad as expected, but it is still pretty horrible. despite the cheesy moments, it is still somewhat enjoy able. although i'm not a fan of the #1 main character... his fake hacking is just GAH!

so far Jessie Usher's character is my favourite xD gotta love the ponies :)

it's definitely not going to be one of my, "oh my gawd, i can't wait for the next episodes...," but i'll definitely add it onto my list of TV shows to follow.
