So I just got done binge watching this and I was pretty darn impressed. The acting, characters, plot, tone, score, animation, everything was just so well done. I'm not too happy with Cartoon Network as a company and how they handle their intellectual property *cough* teen titans go *cough*, but this show made me think that there is still hope for Cartoon Network, it can actually produce some good stuff when it wants to. But now onto the actual show. The acting was amazing, Elijah Wood was fantastic as Wirt and Collin Dean was surprisingly good for only being 9 at the time of the show's release. The two actors played off each other very well and had a very watchable chemistry, although that might also be attributed to the brilliant writers of the show, who somehow manage to spin a whimsical and imaginative story-line while maintaining the innocent tone of the show. The characters were all written beautifully and seemed very natural and real. The tone of the show was very consistent overall and was nicely contrasted to the story. The score was also awesome despite being a little repetitive at times. And the animation was very creative and smooth. Now that I have said the positives, let me explain why I'm only giving this a 9/10 instead of a 10/10. It was pretty much just the ending. I did not enjoy the "it was all a dream" thing, I thought that for a show this awesome and this unpredictable, going with the most clichéd ending honestly upset me a little. Plus, it being a dream wouldn't even make a lot of sense based on what happened. I just did not enjoy the ending and I think that for a show this good, and this clearly well planned out and executed, they should have thought more about the ending rather than making it the most cliché thing in the whole world. Anyway I still enjoyed this show quite a lot and would recommend it to pretty much everyone. And that's why this gets a 9/10.

Nicely animated... stupidity that's what this show is. 1. Strange thing happens 2. There's a kerfuffle 3. Some how gets resolved in an odd manner 4. The end. The only reason I watched it was because I had seen on YouTube that it had similarities to Dante's inferno but that was stupidity as well, ah well at least it's nicely animated !

I've seen that this is the highest rated series on Cartoon network, so I watched all episodes.. couldn't help but feel like I just wasted 110 minutes of life. It wouldn't be fair to give the creators less than a 6 for the "series" seeing as a lot of work went into the songs and some of the dialog, but I can't understand how someone gave it higher than this. Guess I'll be sticking with Gravity Falls, adventure time and regular show, even though their scores are lower, seeing as they are more to my taste. And also have a story line, not just a general idea glued together with silly songs. If you like it good for you, but I would most definitely NOT recommend this

This is a work of art the captures your childhood and your nightmares, stirs them in a bowl, bakes in the unlikely oven of Cartoon Network, sprinkles a little humor, and serves a fall masterpiece. As you watch this amazing story unfold you'll almost ask yourself "Where have I seen this before," and probably a better question, "How did this horrible channel ever produce this." The first is because the creator (Who I believe is friends with the guy who made "Gravity Falls,"Alex Hirsch, and the two guys who made "Rick and Morty" though don't quote me) inspired his world, awesomely called "THE Unknown", from grim fairy tales and American folktales. Both kinda send a lot ringing to the good old nostalgia machine. The second question I have no answer for- Steven Universe is pretty good- and they made that...that's about all I can say for them. I suppose it will always remain a mystery. Back to whats important-watch this great mini series (I advise around October) and enjoy a real delicious treat for the soul- also a quick note probably not for little kids can be kinda scary... :) " - jdhooker
