The CGI, the settings, the overall feel looked awesome in the first episode. Very promising. Until the annoying characters started having silly conversations and stereotypical behaviour. Just finished the 3rd episode and it's just another cat and mouse game story. The gadgets, the mumbo jumbo words, it all sounds and looks cool. But the biggest turn off for me was in the 3rd episode where Flynne and Burton, playing siblings, bicker about who takes the lead in the fight to resist. It's this stupidity that is a big no. The villains are typecasted and the resistance is a mess. Take Flynne, one minute she's like a kung fu fighter, and the next minute she's like a scary little deer running into the headlights of a car. Nope, not the right choice to go.
