I love the TMNT franchise as a whole so much, however I really wish they tried a bit harder with this series. The story was interesting enough to keep me watching for both of the stories in the season (Bishop and the East River Three), but there is one big problem I had. THEY SEPARATE THE BROTHERS EVERY TIME!!!! I understand that this was the main story they were going for, especially with the Bishop plot, but it made the show so much less interesting because I came here for the turtles and not them hanging out with these randos...! They tried to show the brothers getting along with the other mutants when they could've just found a way to include the other mutants without separating them again. I just couldn't force myself to care about the others. The conflict they introduced with The River Three was very interesting, and I wish they just added more to those guys instead of including the mutants from the movie.
If I were to change anything, I'd say I'd rather the story have followed the boys actually going to high school and then the conflict growing from there so we get to see some of how their life is after the movie- not just getting straight into the action and chases. I think that's one thing that disappointed the most is that we lose some of the continuity and the series doesn't just pick up after the movie. The whole season just felt like a completely new movie instead of a series continuation.
As always, the action was great and the style of the show is just incredible! Especially the action they did with Goldfin and the boys on the yacht. Despite my grievances, I will definitely tune in if they choose to make another season.
