Finally got around to finishing the third season of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.  I've been surprised at just how dark, complicated, and engaging it has been.  I think it took a little too long to really get going, but it really hits its stride in the back half, up to an incredible 2-part finale.

If you are a TMNT fan I think it is almost mandatory.  They hit a lot of the major story arcs, do a lot of Easter Eggs and fun casting with the characters.  I think it has two major drawbacks.  First: it is kind of an ugly show.  The turtles themselves look fine, but a lot of the environments are bland and drab and a lot of the human characters are just blocky messes.  And second: it is still ultimately a kids' show.  It can get surprisingly deep and have some funky body horror (something the ugliness of the show actually helps with), but just as often it is just silly stuff for kids.  That's the main reason it is taking me so long to get through it.  That kiddie stuff can wear thin.
