Works on many levels.

Reboot is truely unique. Not only was it the first CGI cartoon, it was also one of the first "kids programs" to actualy have proper plots, on going story lines and decent dialogue.

Seasons 1 and 2 were good enough, have strong techical merity and are packed with original ideas.

But Seasons 3+ is where the series really takes off. Clever storys, great action sequences, non-stop parodys and referances...it really is amazing.

Some of the referances are obvious (Stargate, Blues Brothers,Gilbert and Suilvan) but others are subtle (are you being served).

The charecters truely have depth to them, even the 'evil' ones. Particularly Season 4, which probably has one of the most unique nemisis's ever created.

I could go on talking about it all day, but i wont.

Simple watch it if its on!

Especialy if its either of the TV movies that make up season 4.

Deamon Rising (4.1-4.4) My Two bobs (4.5-4.8)

Deamon Rising, v4.1-v4.4 is my personal favorate.
