Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Notes From the Underground was a three-part story arc that ran during the first season of TMNT (and draws its name from a piece of classic literature about the human condition). When monsters show up on the sensors around their lair, the Turtles investigate and are drawn to an abandoned Foot genetics lab and a mysterious underground city. But something watches from the shadows...
Whats nice about the new Ninja Turtles show is that it has a sense of continuity. While this is a three-parter, it draws from plot points introduced back in episode four, and ends in a way that sets up the next few episodes in the series. The connection to the Foot clan connects this arc to the overall Shredder saga, and later stories in seasons 2 and 3 follow up and conclude the events depicted here. Serialization in children's programming is always appreciated.
My only complaint is that the pacing of the three-parter is slightly off, with part three feeling a bit rushed after the strong build up of the two parts before it. It's nothing remotely damaging, but still worth mentioning.
Overall, a decent saga and good entertainment. If you can stomach paying regular price for only three episodes (like most of Funi's regular discs), this is worth purchasing.
