Not only is this more code lyoko than ReBoot, it's also somehow worse in it's execution everything seems to lag behind the old ReBoot even the CGI. What is worse episode 10 is both a nod and an insult to old fans, mostly an insult. It even makes jokes about how the last 20 years waiting have been wasted. I hope Netflix chancels it and brings back the old format, with no Teen drama and users. Even just the old series in a HD version would be better, as it is right now it's really just below mediocre.
I have watched this entire series on Netflix. The main characters are largely forgettable. After watching 10 episodes I barely remember the red one and the girl's name. As for Vera, out of the entire cast, she was probably the most memorable character and mostly because of her eccentricity was akin to Mork from Ork. This show pretends to portray messages then falls short of ever doing so. Although they are fighting these villains, it feels like there is no true moral compass. During their jaunts in cyberspace the main characters have no qualm in terminating the lives of innocent binomes just because they happen to be in their way, whereas in the original television program of the 90's the message portrayed was that every life had value as demonstrated by Dot Matrix's incredible show of character in the "Firewall" episode. The emphasis of this show seems to be on the children jumping around yelling hackneyed catchphrases while destroying their enemies. The characters brought back from the original series, although similar, are blatantly different from their portrayal in the original show. Megabyte is little more than an inept lackey, Hexadecimal seems quite underpowered, and the CGI animation of all the characters seems lazy. The series is at all times predictable and completely without substance, or soul. This new program seems to attempt to try to do so many things at once that it falls short of every mark. While borrowing elements from many other successful programs from the 90's and riding on a widely popular franchise with a cult following, it just is not memorable in and of itself. This show will not even be a footnote for many who watch it.
I tried to persevere, but its impossible.
Concepts, story and imagery is for primary school kids, but unfortunately as an adult, not for me.
The characters begin by being one dimensional, and proceed to being completely generic. Stock teenagers #1-4 are joined by robot #1 to fight bad-guy #5. Every episode we just mow down waves of unnamed minions. I think the comparisons to Power Rangers are somewhat unfair, as the rangers always had a unique monster to fight, in the same way, every episode. Ten episodes in, and I can't even remember the names of the Teenagers with Attitude. They make that much of an impression.
The ReBoot name tricked me into giving the first release a full watch, hoping that there would be something to like. Every episode got progressively dumber and dumber until the finale: when the show decided to directly insult the classic fan base.
I really feel I should invoice Rainmaker for the time I spent trying to like this cinematic bowl of cream of wheat. It was at best, bland. I guess some of the robot's faces were kinda funny?

I was a fan of the original "Reboot" and was looking forward to the new reboot. What a disappointment. All I kept thinking of while watching it was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
I mean really, stuntman in suits. And why live action? What made the original so good was the CGI. And the stories. And the characters.
Maybe this will get better.

- TriviaAccording to a Rainmaker insider, creator and CEO Michael Hefferon took over production of the series early on and turned it into his own personal pet project, which is noticeably similar to MP4orce (2006), an obscure animated series he had created over a decade prior. Hefferon was apparently quite apathetic about the original ReBoot (1994) and had only seen a few episodes from the first season.
- GoofsHexadecimal appears in this series, despite the fact that in the original she becomes a "benign virus" and eventually sacrifices herself. If the Sourcerer brought her back he would have included delete code as with Megabyte.
