Sonic Prime is a new show that is exclusive to Netflix, and it takes Sega's mascot in a whole new direction. As Sonic and his friends (Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge) get in a battle with Dr. Eggman over the Paradox Prism, a jewel that can reshape the world of Green Hill to the evil doctor's liking, Sonic ends up shattering the prism as Eggman is about to rip it out of the ground. This results in Sonic being flung into the Shatterverse, a multiverse where he sees worlds with different versions of his friends, and even Eggman himself. Now he must travel between these worlds to find the shards of the Paradox Prism in order to get back to his own universe.
This series is a good one. With the voices, everyone has new VAs (due to this being made by WildBrain, a company in Canada, so because of that, the cast is mostly Canadian. Deven Mack takes over as Sonic, and I like him, as he actually channels the energy Ben Schwartz had for the movie version of the heroic hedgehog. In fact, all the actors do a good job doing their roles (which includes Ashleigh Bell as Tails, Shannon Chan-Kent as Amy, Kazumi Evans as Rouge, and even Brian Drummond as Dr. Egmman), with the only I am not liking being Normal Universe Knuckles, as they made him sound like a stereotypical strong man and his character all about smashing things (and not worrying about the Master Emerald, making me wonder why Sega keeps doing the rad red echidna powerhouse so horribly). At least his counterparts are better (as they get a different VA in Vincent Tong).
The series is great as it has a storyline going through each episode. While there only three alternate worlds at the time of this review (hopefully, the second and third seasons will add new worlds), it invents new takes on Sonic's friends (like Amy Rose as a robot named Rusty Rose, and Knuckles as a pirate captain named Knuckles The Dread), and the series is full of references to the games.
