Warning: Spoilers
Reboot was made to be appreciated years long after it went off the air.. Like a fine wine. Loved it (still do) when I was a kid, but I never realized how clever the writing was until I was older, all the subtle adult humor was a great revelation. Even the character development was great for being a kids show (heroes and villains alike), Enzo's arc in season 3 is a huge testament to that. The story was straightforward and progressed nicely as time went on. Once the censors were off their backs and the show was given more creative freedom, the once childish tone slowly turned into something darker.... Nothing over the top, but serious enough to be just as compelling. And let's not forget the biggest thing.... REFERENCES....all the references...if it was ever a thing in pop culture or even from back in the day...it was probably mentioned.

I could make a whole post on the characters alone

But even after all these years I could still binge through the series and be entertained... But while S3 did a good job in setting up Daemon as the next Big Bad, I usually stop after 3.... Only because that series finale in with the epic cliffhanger is the greatest and most disappointing moment because we'll probably never get a proper conclusion to the story.

P. S. We don't talk about that Netflix version.

Ever.
