Five unusual teens from Planet Earth have invented flying robot lions which are now being used to protect the galaxy against the alien army led by King Zarkon.
Fans of the original will be drawn in by the clever update and young kids will love lasers shooting out of robotic lions' tails. If you're in either of those groups, you won't find anything more engaging than Voltron.
The animation is beautiful to behold, and the action is fast-paced and fun. Whether you're a fan of the original or are new to the game, this Netflix series is worth the watch.
It isn't trying to reinvent or really improve on the original conceit of Voltron, but Legendary Defender is certainly a welcome take on this classic cartoon; one that should appeal to fans both new and old.
The main attraction of this series is the visuals, and viewers who want to see the anime-inspired aesthetic of Korra and Avatar applied to a futuristic sci-fi series will be drawn to the evocative design work and dynamic storyboarding.
DreamWorks Voltron Legendary Defender delivers exactly the kind of show you've come to expect from the amazing creative team behind The Legend of Korra.
