very hit or miss
And unfortunately it's mainly misses.
The 1st, 2nd and 4th episode all had very poor writing, irritatingly clichéd characters, and a completely un-adventure-time-like feel.
What makes it even more frustrating is that al 3 episodes could have worked really well if the writing was more adequate, as focusing on 1-2 main characters an episode was a realy good choice.
Those characters, though, were dumbed down to the point that it feels like character development from the entire show was deleted into an uninspired mush so it could have a forced happy ending.
After just finishing the main show, it almost felt insulting to what the show has accomplished.
These might actually be my top 3 worst episodes of the ENTIRE series!
Ep1: 5/10, ep2: 4/10, ep4: 5/10
Then there's episode 3... which is one of the best in the entire series!
The difference in everything from writing to worldbuilding, to tying up loose ends from the show is incredible!
As it focuses on Finn and Jake, it's also the only episode that's more close the the main series, so I'm very thankful they at least nailed this most important episode in a near-perfect manner.
9,6/10 is what I would give it as well.
All in all it's mostly an uninspired mess, and I'd recommend to only watch the 3rd episode (but if you're as invested into the Adventure Time world as you should, I bet you'll watch them anyway) Just be prepared for mediocrity.
