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.

This is probably the best show Cartoon Network has aired since Over the Garden Wall, mostly due its mysterious setting and the way in which it manages to balance pretty well fun and serious elements, being the kind of series that can be enjoyed both by kids and adults as well

It's a must watch. It made me laugh, and almost cry. They use familiar elements but at the same time are original. You connect with the characters and feel what they feel (especially in season 3, I hated that guy) This is hands down the best show I ever watched. Yep, you heard it from me, folks. It doesn't seem "kiddy" to me at all. In fact, I think all ages would love this series. I sure hope it makes at least 8 seasons.

Each season only gets better and better. Truly amazing characters and universe, excellent art for characters and the backgrounds alike. I can't really say much without spoilers, so discover if you like the show by watching it.
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.

This show for me was very reminiscent of Over the Garden Wall, which is one of my favorite shows. The way it dealed with mature topics separates this from other shows, and the execution of the overall series was fantastic.
This show is perfect for teens and young adults. The premise of the show is all about the passengers of the train being there for different reasons, something about themselves they need to grow out of, negative traits or habits. To get off the train, they have to overcome whatever it is holding them back. Trust, fear, resisting change, all are obstacles our protagonists fight to overcome.
Overall it's an amazing show for anyone ages 10-20, and its not nearly as brain dead as other television, not to mention this one teaches good lessons. So for parents, it should be equally enjoyable.
It's only available on HBOMax, a US region locked service. You can find ways around this, but try your best to support the show and it's creators so they can land a new deal and keep making more seasons. For those outside the US, the first two seasons are available on google play videos.

Infinity Train is one of the most amazing Cartoon Network shows of all time. What I thought would be just a regular simple show turned into one of the most beautiful pieces of art CN has ever created. This show deserved WAY more seasons than what it got. Anyway though, here are my opinions on each season.
Season 1 : 9.0 An iconic yet lovable cast of characters that made an amazing start to the show, especially tulip.
Season 2 : 8.5 It was quite interesting to see a character from one episode in the first season have an entire season about themself. The beginning wasn't too strong in my opinion, but near the end of the season was great.
Season 3 : 10.0 Words can't describe how much I loved this season. Everything from the characters to the emotion really made this way different from the rest. I didn't think I was going to like it that much, but ironically it became my favorite season in the entire show.
Season 4 : 8.0 The first episode and the last 3 episodes were really lovable. However I was expecting this season to be about Hazel and Amelia, I was a little disappointed when I found out it wasn't, but it was still a good season.
Farewell infinity train, you're one of the greatest cartoons I've ever watched.

The only worth watching season is the first one. The storyline is simple but super effective. I find the first 3 minutes of the series the best reason to give the series a try.
The second season lack of development in my opinion. It felt rushed, the characters weren't as endearing as in the first. It's good, but is like what happened with the second season of Stranger Things: we know is good, but the first one is so much better.

An older teen & upwards Saturday morning cartoon series.
Positives: Interesting theme of trying to get off a never-ending train of encounters in order to get home. Dialogue was humorous, sardonic, and intelligent at times especially self discovery as a puzzle to solve.
Negatives: A lot of of encounters seem to be borrowed (?) from other sources (films, books) thus not too creative. Animation quality is Saturday morning cheap. Opening premise was not clear & continued to be muddled as our characters move from train car to train car (in other words different encounters to solve or overcome).

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.
The first season was great, but the second season was something else. You need to watch this show.
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.

Infinity Train (10, 12-min eps) is kind of an updated, serialized "Alice in Wonderland". It's pretty simplistic and looks geared for pre-teens though it was heavily promoted with Ozzy Osborne's "Crazy Train" song which otherwise has nothing to do with the show, and was a bit disappointing since the song is young-adult but the show decidedly pre-teen. It's a show whose formula is about 3/4 fluff and 1/4 core-plot, which translates to FF'ing through much of it. Not sure I'd watch subsequent seasons since it's so kiddy oriented. But during the final moments of the finale, when she and her father passed in front of a mirror, only his reflection was seen, so maybe she's still on the train? There's enough of a mystery to capture one's attention...

Loved the first two seasons, and I think the third is worth watching if seeing Apex in season 2 piqued your interest. Didn't finish the fourth season.
Honestly this show was very "meh" for me. It felt very childish but also dark at the same time. So is this for kids? Or adults? Or teens? It felt like it was quite dumb at times. I wouldn't recommend it.

Infinity Train is a must see for all western animation fanatics and a fun ride for casual viewers. It is funny, creative, relatable and surprisingly daring at times concerning some of its plot decisions.
The main protagonist Tulip finds herself on a strange train with weird and wacky settings in each cart. Whilst fun, at times it does not always mesh well with the episodic nature of the show. Sometimes the amount of time spent inside one cart feels too long, just because they need to fill up the entire 10 minute episode. However, to counter this the episodes are full of fun character interactions and gimmicks. Also, during the later half of the first season the main mystery starts to unravel, which gives the show much more flexibility in its storytelling.
This first season starts of strong, meddles a bit in the middle, but concludes in a satisfying way and leaves the viewer wanting more.

This show is awesome! It may be a mini series, but the plot is so interesting. I watched the first episode and it is great! It destroyed my expectations! I'm hyped for episode 2 tonight at 7:30!
