So I watched the first two episodes this morning.
Definitely captured the tone of the old series, but looks much better, I do miss the treacly voice of the OG Magneto, but as he is no longer with us, perfectly understandable.
Cliffhanger endings to each episode gets plus points from me, and the soap opera feel of the X-Men comics is if anything better captured here than in the original show.
Shall keep watching.

There are some points when the animation was a bit off. But most was ok

SO GOOD!!! Cyclops was actually kinda cool. I like Wolverine's little canadian accent now, but it threw me for a minute.
Honestly, I think this might be what the original series wanted to be.

Episode 3 - didn't expect them to get that all done in 1 episode. The name reveal was fine if you know the lore, otherwise, faintly ridiculous.

They have rocketed through everything i thought would be the major season arcs, in the first three episodes.

It's getting a second series, I wonder if we get Onslaught then or Bastion and Operation Zero Tolerance.

Well, if we do, they'll be addressed and resolved in the first episode

Fantastic callback to the original series with some shocking dreadful Scottish and Irish accents for Moira and Banshee.

I really kinda feel like this is the show they really wanted to make back in the nineties.
It genuinely captures the same feel of reading the comics back then.

Yep, they really went out with a bang.
Interested to see where they go from there.

97, it's in the title.
It's a streaming service, so it'll be either 6, 8, or 12.

I believe it is currently scheduled for 2 seasons at 10 episodes each.
