Top Cast
Never hits its stride either narratively or visually. It will likely have some appeal for younger and less discerning fans of the blue speed demon, though a top-tier video game adaptation this series is not.
As far as Sonic productions go, this is a bland adventure that you’d be better served skipping to play the newest video game, Sonic Frontiers. The establishing episode is 45 minutes of schlock that might work well as a video game, but it doesn’t translate well to the small screen, with its muddled premise, eye-rolling dialogue, and downright boring story beats.

Sonic Prime good show overallSonic Prime is the kind of energy Sonic should always have. The content is great for fast paced action and even fun humor. The lore isn't religiously respected but it's not super outrageous neither. The characters are acting like themselves and their other versions are interesting for most of them.

A good story in the Paradise universe is amazing

Wow, Sonic Prime is something else alright. The animation is top-notch, the action is intense, and I dig how they included multiple versions of me and my friends, across multiple parallel worlds. And the villians... oh the villians... they are top-tier. Dr. Eggman Nega and Sage are my personal favorites.
Overral, it's one heck of a show. It lives up to my name.
And I give it ten out of ten, tops.

This is just great for Sonic fans. The action style reminisces of great tv shows like Justice League or Teen Titans, and the plot is intricate enough to keep you expecting. Also good characters.

As a kids show, Sonic Prime is decent enough. There's some stunning action, fun characters and plenty of suspense. But it's a flawed concept that it is not executed very well, and so it ends up being nothing special.
It's a shame they decided to go with the multi-verse angle. The first episode felt like the Sonic Cartoon of my dreams, as it closely resembled the game setting. And then it was all downhill from there.
In the first season, the cast constantly changes when Sonic switches dimensions. This kills the engagement, as you continually having to re-acquaint yourself with new characters. It also makes the experience repetitive, as each episode is about Sonic having to prove himself and win the trust of his alternative dimension friends. It also has a weird flashback gimmick that doesn't tell you anything new about the characters or the plot. Things get better in the second season as that sticks to the characters we met in the first season. So you are not having to re-acquaint yourself with new characters. But there's no variety. The second season is basically one big action sequence. Sonic just reacts to everything that is thrown at him. The villains bring a good sense of stakes, but they have no real master plan. Likewise, the hero also have no strategy. There's no seed planting that pays off later. It's just like an extended session of the video games. Like I said, it's decent enough. But with a different approach it could have been so much better.
