Captain Underpants as an epic novel book series was my childhood! It was my favourite book series along with Diary of a Wimpy Kid, horrid Henry and many more.
On 2017, the movie for the book series came out. It wasn't bad, nor perfect, just decent.
Then on 2018, I heard the book series will also be getting an animated series. I was intrigued, so I gave it a watch on Netflix. And I got to say, it was a bit disappointing.
It had the two main characters from the books, George and Harold, along with other recurring characters from the books like Mr Krupp (aka captain underpants), Mr Meaner, Melvin and a few more, which leaves the rest of the characters to be new for this animated series.
This series to me just doesn't capture the feel of the novels by Dave Pilkey, and feels more like DreamWorks running out of ideas for TV shows. The new added characters to the series can get a bit annoying from time to time but can still be likeable. The fart jokes were completely unfunny and felt just pathetic. The narrator in this series was a tad bit irritating and wasn't really needed, and the comic reading narrator was 3x irritating with his obnoxious, screeching, kid-like voice for 1 minute straight which is quite cringy.
Overall, this series isn't terribly bad, nor great. Just below average, and a show that nobody really asked for.
