This series deserves to be seen by more people. The production standards are far above other shows during this time.

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in Indiana Jones, the character. His backstory, as presented here is absolutely fascinating and spectacular. See it for yourself and be thrilled by this project.

What this Series needs is a BluRay re-issue of this show in their original formats - with the Old Indy wraparounds. I don't believe it EVER received a turn on home video.

The production, writing, direction, casting, location and ILM effects are better than many theatrical releases.

The re-edited "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" that is currently streaming on Disney+ are better than nothing, but like Firefly, watching them out of sequence (as currently edited), actually hinders the story lines, and It's disconcerting to see Corey Carrier switch ages within the same "episode", because they've combined footage from S1 and S2 . PLUS, we're forced to watch 5 of them before getting to SPF's teen / YA Indy.

And the entire episode is words. Nothing really happens here. Indy farts around trying to impress a young woman, does almost nothing impressive, and then joins the war. You can tell big things are coming soon, and there's a mild hint of edginess here and some threat, but it never goes anywhere. Some discussion of womens voting rights but again, doesn't go anywhere. This episode accomplishes very little and wastes its 46 minute running time. The hammy contrived ending where he meets up with Old Vicky by coincidence is just annoying. It wasn't cute or funny. Hurley and Flannery do have real chemistry, it would have been better if they'd actually had something of a life together but of course thanks to movie canon, we know for a fact its never going to happen, so there's no urgency or hope in the entire episode. Its a step up from the previous overlong episode in that they dont have an excess of boring action scenes, but there is even less discovery and exploration here which is what Indiana Jones is famous for.
