Rating Summary
These first two episodes are very much an introduction to the characters and everyday struggles in which Peter finds himself. As such, despite its adequate animation and above-average vocal performances, each one is little more than the same teenage drama/subplots that we've seen time and time again once more regurgitated on screen, only this time it's interspersed with incredibly lackluster action scenes.

So far, there's little to suggest that the showrunners have any genuinely "new ideas" other than swapping the races and genders of some legacy characters.
