This series is terrible. The way it's told is so bad i could not enjoy watching it
And the animation extremely cheap and look awful.
Only two of the characters from the movies was in the series (Poe and his dad).
I really hope this is not the future of Kung Fu Panda.

All the other reviews are correct too, I didn't start watching this series because I wanted to but because I had nothing else to watch and yes the animation is of lower quality, the first season kind of feels like okay-ish, Po seems weak and the Villains have no strength but if you manage to push through to the 2nd season and then the 3rd, the Villain (I don't want to name them to avoid any spoilers) shows a strong character and the adventures kind of start gripping you, you kind of start admiring the team and by the end of it, I was sad it was over, this was a lot of fun and I wish they had invested a little more into this series.
Story progresses so slow that if you miss several of the middle episodes still it will create no impact on the storyline. PO is so strong in movies and here he's shown very weak and immature. Kids will definitely love it but as a kung fu panda trilogy fan I didn't liked it at all.
I read other reviews, and while I do think some points are exaggerated in their quality, I understand where people are coming from. Dreamworks had hyped up Jack Black being on the project a lot, portraying this show as an unofficial Kung Fu Panda 4, when in reality this was just another generic kids show based on a Dreamworks property.
Are all Netflix Dreamworks shows bad? No, their other action shows like Kipo are one of my favorites as a matter of fact, but this show does little to stand out from others in its genre. The characters aren't doing anything for me despite having good backstories. Blade, for example, has a neat backstory regarding her brother, but her personality is the by-the books hardened and stoic type. Po is a lot less endearing and more annoying, but this isn't a complete character assassination (although the way he handles his status really irks me). As always, Mr. Ping is the best character.
The animation is pretty inconsistent. If the show aired 5-10 years earlier, it would be alright, but it didn't. The lighting and set design look really good and are the highlight visually. The new character designs suck and the villains especially look dog****. The actual animation feels off. IDK if it's because it's animated on twos or somsthing, but it felt less impactful.
Overall, a pretty average show that a 7 year old might like, but nothing beyond that. They could've executed this better.

Po is undeniably an audience favorite and a spin-off series with Po voiced by the legendary Jack Black sounds like a good idea. But is it? The animation is poor with a few good-looking frame. You get used to it after a while and it's definetly watchable. Kids will like it.
The story is basically Infinity War. The trilogy was already perfect and it showed Po grow into a true master, and now this is what he acts like? It's however not the biggest deal since there's been Kung Fu Panda spin-offs before. It's a fun watch but nothing close to the movies, but kids will enjoy it.
