didn't the main guy on V recently die or something?

Decided to subject myself to the Ren And Stimpy Reboot.
In two words: Simply Awful... but it could have been worse
Totally lost sight of what the show was, with some heinous writing and blatantly rehashed jokes from 20 years ago. I'd not be surprised if it's cancelled before the first season finishes, because if it isn't appealing to people who loved the old material, I doubt it will find a new audience.
Strong point: The animation. Captures the original style, and flows well, with short-frames stuff peppered in addition to those patented close up detail shots.
Weak point: Billy West can't do these voices any more. His Ren is old and haggard, and he is unable to do unhinged Ren which is some of the best stuff. Second, the writing and new characters. I think the original show was basically written through visual storyboards outlining how the animation should flow. This seems built by a committee, and run through a room of writers not totally familure with the original material, or why it was so entertaining.
It's just not there. This isn't the team to do it, nor the proper way to produce a show like this.

Watching Hit-Monkey. It's pretty cool. Bit violent.

Meh. House Dragon Season 2, it's alright, still lacks, "great depth", while it's not terrible, it's kind of a bore.
