The generation that grew up worshiping these characters will be somewhat pleased by the faithful reproduction.
The animations were similar enough to create nostalgia, the voice overs likewise took us back to that time.
The writing is great and finds the simple/clever balance.
For those of us that knew He-Man as all powerful might not be happy with his demise right in Episode 1 this is way too crafty and unnecessary for a story that's already so fixed in middle age minds. This might have been saved for a mid season high point. A slower build up perhaps.
Just grateful that nobody mucked around with the original concept too much but I've heard this didn't last long from others, lets see.
Onto episode 2!
