One takeaway from the early MCU movies that DC failed to pick up on was the importance of humour, and sadly this show fails in that regard as well.
There was so much more they could have done with a dysfunctional family of ninjas! So many little moment that they could have played for humour, and at the outset that seemed like maybe the direction they were going to go with it.
But instead it was entirely too much mysticism coupled with dull detective work and brooding serious conversations where they don't talk about what is actually happening.
Honestly, it would have been way better as something closer to a sitcom, where they had to deal with their family issues while fighting crime in the background.
Just imagine: two ninjas soaring through the night and fighting off criminals, all while bickering about whether the younger ninja had done her homework.
The musical selection was great at least. Fun and quirky, which is why I thought the show was going to be fun and quirky too.
It was neither. Just... long.
6/10 stars. I won't be turning up for a second season.
