I liked the UK version much more than the US remake of which I started watching before this. I only started watching the original after persevering through season 1 of the US show of which the seasons are 3 times as long.
That said, this version “totally Ninja” peaked at the end of season 2 after a very satisfying, episode-by-episode improvement. After season 3 the show was just good and never reached those lofty heights again.
Not being a Christmasy person myself, ending the show a seasonal episode was unfortunate (although some of them were quite good). The lame Christmas-motivated sentimentality was a very weak ending. Getting the finale right is hard but as much as the general plot points worked, the emotional glue was poorly applied.
I’ll always remember those first 2 seasons, they were absolutely top notch.
