The Rise of Voltron

You've gotta hand it to the writers for keeping to the formula of the '80s series. We don't actually see the robot until the very end of this pilot, and that's just how the original operated from week to week. I think there's promise in that.

And they certainly spared no expense on the CGI budget. The battle scenes with the lions are dynamic and Voltron itself looks pretty cool. I think matching pilots to lions via personalities was a nice twist, and it flows nicely with the lighthearted tone. The word of mouth on this series is impressive and I for one am intrigued.
