The art is stylish, the writing is really funny and it stays somewhat true to the original spirit of the show. There's one character which will split fans: Boris Badenov. He makes Paul Frees' version like a genius. However, the writing does subtly address how this version is basically an evil version of Bullwinkle. Although still mean and selfish, he is ditzy and easily distracted, and when he meets Gordon Ramsay he gushes like an excited child. I think he's adorable, if a little far removed from the eccentric schemer of the original.
As a result, the Pottsylvanian trio provide a classic comedic dynamic: Fearless Leader is the scheming leader, Boris is the fool and Natasha is the complainer.
The series took me a while to get into, but after four episodes I was hooked.
