    It's really nothing more than a Sketchers commercial with those same superhero mascots from their commercials. The commercials aren't bad. They aren't meant to be good. They're supposed to be corny and meant to sell tennis shoes. But let's go over everything wrong with this show.The characters: They're all clichéd. That one breeze kid is the annoying little brother, Elastic-what's-her-name is the bratty older sister and the ninja guy is the sorta like the mature child of the group.The plot: The plot basically is that our clichéd heroes fight mutant monsters in a post apocalyptic future. What about that doesn't sound clichéd.The soundtrack and theme song: This is THE most forgettable soundtrack I've ever heard. The only thing I can remember is it's that its the same clichéd techno-beat that supposed to go along with the superhero concept.Well, that's just about everything wrong with this train-wreck. What else would you expect from a show based on Sketchers commercials?

    This TV show happens to be very good in my opinion.I've been reading some reviews on this show and I'm so saddened to see people just go and bash this show for some pretty stupid reasons. I'm not saying the show can't be a bit corny at times with the dialogue, but other than that, I think it's very well thought out, paced show with characters that are very dynamic.I gained a lot of respect for this show mostly because of the point that it showcases a variety of races instead of just having everyone be white with a splash of other races as minor characters. It's a refreshing change of pace to see the main character (Jason) being a black guy, who, yeah, is hip hop, but is a very bright and artistic guy with great leadership skills. The other characters are all very real, some stereotypical and some fit different molds, but isn't that how life is? I know a lot of people bash the show because they have the black people speaking in hip hop terms sometimes, but don't some black people speak with slang in real life sometimes? So what's the big deal? But, moving on....I also respect the plot line of "kids with superhero powers and responsibilities" and trying to balance their lives with this new and un-welcomed secret identity. It's very well paced and even though all three characters aren't best buddies when it starts, now being so many episodes in, it's very believably gradual of how Zevo-3 grows to be a real team. Also, the script and plot take a lot of serious turns that are very exciting. The new development with Jason's parents and everything else is very inviting and gives the story a lot of depth.So, all and all, I'm saying the check the show out and stop listening to the people saying the show is stupid because the black people are being portrayed in a racist way because they speak hip hop. I'm black myself, and I can honestly say I've never been offended by the show.Good show, great and realistic characters, well scripted and thought out plot. 8/10.

    Even ignoring that it's a 22-minute commercial, it's still an unremarkable program. The voice acting ranges from average to hammy (in a "I'm not even going to dare put this on my resume" kind of way). The protagonists themselves are dull characters, and the villain (Stank-foot) is equally as dreary. It's an action show, but the battles and confrontations are no more attention-grabbing than their scenes of "normal life", making the whole show a chore to watch with no excitement to be had or expected. The forgettable music, character art design (which itself is embarrassing to behold) that clash with the background scenery, bland settings, and flat color palette only helps to quicken the audience's malaise. The only nice thing I can say is that it doesn't treat itself as a commercial and avoids name-dropping, but that still makes it a failure based on the fundamentals of being an advertisement.Below average in every category, Zevo-3 feels as though the staff who worked on the show tried to make it as boring to watch as it was to develop.

    From the start I knew this show was going to bite. There's absolutely no talent behind it and it's just way to earn a quick buck really. Come on, Z-Strap, Kewl Breeze, Elastika, Stank foot?? What the f*ck?! As you may or may not know, the majority of these characters at first were mere advertising art to get kids to buy more Sketchers, as funny and ridiculous as that may sound. My low expectations were hit hard and forced to go even lower with each episode.They force Danté Basco into delivering dialog so corny and wannabe hip-hop-type crap it hurts to watch, while Elastika is just another older sister whose only concern is boys and not getting grounded for her brother's shenanigans. Z-strap, God that name sounds like Jock strap every time I think of it, is just the hardcore leader who really is just more of a downcast loner. Stank foot (is Nick serious with this name?) is just your average mad scientist. Mark Hamil, you are thoroughly wasting your time. Most of the characters designs are rubbish and rather stupid, the story lines are incredibly weak and uninvolving and the score is laughable.I know it's just a kids show but time and time again we are shown cartons like "Avatar: The Last Airbender" that certainly raise the bar, and so when something crappy like this turns my way I'm not going to sugarcoat it, plain and simple. Oh yeah, anyone else notice zevo just seems to be a re-wording of the term ebo from "Generator Rex" (another great series)? Now that I think about it, the basic premise borrowed heavily from that show.I cannot recommend this garbage.
