Featured reviews
But this show makes it difficult to like the main character Teela due to her close minded attitude in a few situations and towards some characters; i liked the villain character Evil-Lyn better because she seemed more open minded, and her complex journey and development was more interesting.
I've read some interesting reviews about this show, now that I've watched it, I can agree with lots of points, and disagree strongly with others.
The main issue, the absence of He-Man, it's very true we don't get a lot of him, he is sacrificed for 80% of it, and we're given Teela.
The animation is superb I thought, I loved it, it's modern, but it doesn't feel a million miles away from the classic series, the stories of course, you won't recognise any original characteristics there.
The best of the villains here for me, Scare Glow, absolutely first rate, that's perhaps the best episode too.
The real star of the show is Lena Headey, who voices Evil Lyn, her voice is captivating, and I think it's fair to say that she's the most interesting character here, she isn't forced on us, instead she naturally shines through, we aren't made to think she's incredible....ahem Teela.
I don't love it, I didn't hate it, it's watchable, and nostalgic, 6/10.

Well now ive seen the whole of the story... finally prince adam becomes he man in the last episode and for 30 seconds and it was amazing..
but i had to watch hours and hours of woke rubbish to get there..
what would happen if someone made a she-ra remake with great animation and had hardly any she-ra in it and made it mainly about Bow or Sea-hawk and had she-ra in it for 2 episodes... how much up-roar do you think would happen then.. more than this i assure you... this show is at best a 3 just for the animation and voice acting.. whoever thought to make a he-man show without he-man as the main character needs to be excluded from all forms of storymaking from here on out.. yes kevin smith im talking to you. Shame shame shame..
So you make a He-man show and take out He-man then spend 8 episodes making Teela the hero and Evil-Lynn the true villain and go out of your way to make sure that everyone knows that Adam and Skeletor are minimized and have everyone then heap praise on Teela incessantly, even going so far as to break the canon rules for her, just cuz.
But here's the deal, if this was a season TWO of a show, it would have been somewhat interesting. If you'd had ten episodes of normal He-Man vs Skeletor with a big plot, etc THEN had this show after, it might have worked and been nice BUT because you replace the main story and then change it around to the point that you've completely erased what the thing was in the first place, then why did you make this? Seriously, who was this for? Kids don't care about He-Man, so this was for adults who remember it, but they certainly don't want to see what they remembered trashed on... I just don't get the mentality behind doing this kind of thing. But then it's not like He-Man is Shakespeare so in the grand scheme of things, this is just a big giant MEH.

I don't know who the target audience for this show is supposed to be, fans of the original (in their +30's by now, I am one of them) or kids? To me, the writing is terrible. The first episode of part 1 was promising, as was the last, but in between it was a complete snore-fest. As for Part 2, it just went downhill and never stopped. Sad for me to say but I hope there will not be a Part 3.
The only positive I can give the show is the great animation, and a solid voice cast performance.
