Animation - The show's animation is extremely fluid. It helps that it comes from the same animation studio that animated Rise of the TMNT, which also has beautiful animation. It also has a nice color palette that's easy on the eyes, and good geometric character designs.
Writing - The show has fairly good writing. The story is engaging and unique, and the dialogue is sharp. There's also a lot of video game references to stuff like Pokemon, Sonic, and Castlevania for all of us video game nerds out there.
Characters - The show's characters are also well-written, and get a lot of development. Five and Miko genuinely seem like real people that you would meet and have a lot of traits to round them out, as well as a good dynamic with each other. Bitt is adorable, and Mitch is the guy you love to hate. The only problem is that Zahra and Haneesh don't get enough screen time or development, but hopefully they will in future episodes.
Music - The show's music really stands out. It's 8-bit and inspired by retro video games, obviously. The opening theme and credits songs are both really catchy.
Enjoyment - The only problem I have is that it drags sometimes due to being 22 minutes and not 11 minutes, but overall it's a fun show with a compelling story, great action scenes, smooth animation, likable characters, everything you need to make a great Nicktoon. It's a crying shame that Nickelodeon screwed it over and dumped it on Netflix. Everyone complains that Nickelodeon doesn't come up with original ideas anymore when this show and the new show It's Pony exist. Support both of those shows if you want more original ideas from Nickelodeon.
