Not really He-Man, but still entertaining
'He-Man: The Next Generation' would probably have been a better title.
The beloved characters are there although all of their backstories and personas are re-imagined.
It seems like a great show for the intended age group, with a lot of "coming of age" and a bit of character development.
The humor is decent and it doesn't seem at all preachy (as so many newer shows for kids does).
To sum it up, older fans of He-Man will NOT find a re-skinned version of the legendary classic. This is it's own thing, a newer and different take, and it would have benefitted from underlining that fact with a more fitting title (like 'Star Trek' and 'TNG') in my opinion.
