Did anyone like The Next Mutation?

When TNM came out I had no idea about it until my TMNT friend on the net told me I needed to watch it because there was a girl turtle. I got into the show around the third episode. I knew immediately this was not based too much on the OT background, but I was quickly hooked and looked forward to watching each episode. Please don't stone me, but there were a lot of good things for me...

It was the first time I actually liked Donnie. I felt he was an actual member of the team and not just there in the background. That was a turning point for me with Donnie. He is actually my second favorite Donnie, only to the 2014 Donnie.

I loved all the voices this time. I actually loved all the turtles equally in the show. Leo was still serious, but also more fun in some scenes. I still love his relationship with Raph.

I liked that Mikey was shown to actually cook meals. He even did his pirate radio, which was mature for him.

I liked the idea of a female turtle, I just didn't like Venus. I hated that she wasn't more like them and that she did all that magic stuff. She acted like she was better than they were. You can't tell me that she wasn't just as excited to learn that there were four male mutated turtles for her to hook up with. Instead she acted like they annoyed her.

I loved Raphael and his bike. He needs that bike back in the Nick show.

I really liked the "sexual tension". At first I thought there would be romance with Venus and Leo and that fizzled pretty much and then it was flaming hot with Raph(for a kids show).

He even painted a picture of the two of them on his bike together. They sparred together and played together a lot of the time. And there was the whole jealousy episode. Splinter even almost said out loud that Raph was distracted by her in a romantic way.

She even had a few moments with Donnie in that regard. Some like to joke that he was the only one to feel her up in one episode. Although it was just an accident with the actor, Venus does look down and see him doing it, which makes it really funny.

Donnie and Leo hitting on the lamb and the gazelle. That was adorable.

Even though they were played as goofy more than serious, I liked Dragonlord, I loved Wick and I even liked Bonesteel.

I loved that the turtles are almost 18. They seemed to be in control more than Splinter was. Splinter is aged a lot more in this one.

There were a lot of things that I liked, but the major things I didn't like were...

Shredder, how they dealt with him and that actor, god that actor was horrible.

That vampire woman with those kids, oh man, they were terrible.

The overall goofiness of the show. If only it was made more serious it might have had some potential.

And taking MIkey's chucks away! So stupid!

The overused intro as they rode off to the scene of the crime even when it was in the sewer.

I'm sure there is more, but I haven't seen the episodes in a while. I may have to use the Nick hiatus to check it out again. I just get a general feeling that many fans hated this show, so I thought I'd see if there were any fans.
