How well/poorly has Rise aged?

In all seriousess, a lot of the earlier Season 1 eps are too comedy based. Like it feels more like Spongebob than TMNT. I only watched each episode once so I may be remembering wrong, but there weren't really any real proper fight scenes till about halfway into the series, and even then most of them were short. The show did generally get better as it went on, once they started exploring the Turtles and Splinters backstory and the Demon Shredder stuff started about it improved.

And the Rise movie is genuinely great due to Leonardo's development and the Kraang. But yeah, a lot of the early episodes just don't feel like TMNT. So that's probably why people were turned off at first, besides the Turtles designs themselves being weird.
