Rise is such an underappreciated gem of a show that also happens to soft reboot the Ninja turtle story and explores lots of awesome ideas like the turtles having 2 dads. It's fucking fun and is only let down by it being yet another self contained 2 seasons with a movie to round it out. Netflix has the first season but the actual fight against shredder is 4 episodes long and will rip your heart out.
ikr there's this awful trend lately of awesome cartoon shows getting canned after 2-3 seasons (look at DuckTales 2015, Mao Mao, The Owl House, too) because they don't get enough recognition since only the big budget shitty live action ones get on the main pages of streaming platforms AND they get fought over by those networks who can't keep the whole series on one platform only. No we don't need ANOTHER live action rendition of an old cartoon, we need more entertainment for children and young adults that resort to either shitty kids entertainment or boring unoriginal adult content!!!
