Infinity Train

This is probably the most interesting show Cartoon Network has aired since Over the Garden Wall, mostly thanks to its mysterious setting and good balance between the fun and lighthearted moments with the more serious parts of the plot.

I'll keep it simple, no spoilers. It's in 3 Seasons so far; anthology yet intertwined. The jokes can be hit-or-miss, but when they hit, they HIT. The drama in this kids show does go into important territory that speaks to both the kids and adults. The action is good, but not to be hyped up, it's mainly focused on the world and its drama. But there are very intense, severe, and possibly scary scenes, so if with kids, please make sure you can explain to them what is happening in a calm manner. Overall, I would recommend this show and I would BEG HBO MAX/ Warner Media to greenlight Season 4.

Me and my ma watched the whole thing in two days (S1 on the 1st day, S2 the next) and OH BOY WE LOVED IT. The show really reminds me of Adventure Time, which is my mother's favorite show and one of my favorite shows. This show is so funny and intriguing and sad at times... a wild ride and an awesome ride. I was obsessed for weeks. 10/10 would binge again and again. Can't wait for S3!

Infinity Train is really in a class of its own when compared to other exceptional modern cartoons. It's animation and soundtrack are beautiful. But what really sets it above anything I've seen is it's complex characters, expansive worlds, and incredible balance between light moments and very realistic heartaching darker ones. It's the perfect anthology series, each book really drives home a certain point, different than the one before, while resolving unanswered questions that grow as the series progress. For me, book one hit the hardest because it appealed to a lot of specific emotions I had over topics they explored. While my friend who also loves the series had the most attachment to book 2. I think the show is really masterful in that everyone can individually draw something from the different themes in each book.

When I hear raves for children-aimed programming my concern is it's being graded on a kids curve. But even though I'm in my 60s I found this series to be funny, imaginative, well-written, and well worth watching.

Each season follows a different hero but ingeniously each hero is a character from the season before, so you have a coherent, connected world even though the entire design is of a million random mini-universes. It's so well done.

That being said, I do think the first episode was a bit better than the other two. But after watching the first three seasons in a week I am eager to see what happens next.
