Enjoyed Season 02 more than Season 01, interested to see what they do for a season 03. Alan Dracula easily the coolest cartoon character I've seen.
ay hbo/discovery get fucked this show slaps
The second book is decent, a reflection (pun semi-intended), on the nature of reality and what defines a person. But the first book shows a child being forced to go through a painful journey to grow, so she can leave her new friends and run back to the people who showed her neglect, happy to return like victims of abuse and neglect often are... And Tulip forgives her parents because they ultimately decide to fulfill the obligation they carelessly neglected to begin with.
Tulip's anger is deserved. It should be validated. Tulip has every right to be angry, yet she's the only one who has to go on a journey of change to become complacent in the life she had with parents who are mostly shown in her memories to put her in the middle of their petty squabbles and neglect her. All because of what? Parents 'inherently loving' their child. A lie so many children are forced to swallow and live with for most of their formative years...
Ultimately, I like the premise, but this is one more washed out portrayal of a child of divorce that pushes the idea that the child is expected to learn to accept their own reality, rather than to seek a way to find a new and better life.
"Infinity Train" is... special. "Infinity Train" is unique. When I first got into this show, I was pleasantly surprised by how it provided consistent, short storytelling.
Season 1 is a good start, with a singular protagonist (who couldn't be more "the hero") as they change the entire train world by the season's end.
I fell in love with the series in Season 2. This season had two protagonists: Lake and Jesse. Both faced struggles I deeply relate to, and it continues the theme of friendship in a beautiful way.
Season 3 was the darkest and all the more interesting for it. It also had two protagonists, Grace and Simon, as they both learned what "empathy" means, let alone "sympathy".
Season 4 toned it down a bit. It's my least favourite of the series, but it was far from bad, so it didn't end on a downer note. It still followed two protagonists as they grappled with their relatable issues.
"Infinity Train"'s cancellation makes me very sad. I hope Owen Dennis can continue it someday because I would love to see four more seasons of this beloved cartoon. Maybe I'll watch other Cartoon Network series, who knows?
8/10
I love learning more about the train, it's like the behind-the-scenes bits of Portal!
Absolutely loved this show and binge-watched it in a single sitting. It's like an Adventure Time spin-off, but with completely new, and lovable, characters ! Cannot wait for a new season.
why was this cancelled? I just discovered the show and I'm watching it so quickly. sad that it was cancelled :cry:
my theory is that this animation takes place in the scp universe, and the train would be one of the countless scps that exist in this universe, but that somehow the foundation is still studying it
Last season blows, both leads are super unlikable. If the episodes weren't so short I probably would have stopped watching.
Like Adventure Time but different sad that it was cancelled
Another great animated show that got cut for no reason. Each season is able to build upon the last while still having a new and different story to tell.
Thanks hbomax for removing this show and making me aware of this gem through that.
If you're an adult, just watch The Good Place or play Portal 1 & 2 instead.

A short, well structured cartoon that respectfully deals with topics rarely seen in children's media. Tulip is a refreshingly unique main character and the mystery surrounding the train kept me watching to the end. Can't wait for the next season!
EDIT: Each and every season the show keeps getting better! The last episode of Season 3 had the DARKEST scene I've ever witnessed in a show with a PG rating. My only criticism is that the humor isn't great, but this definitely isn't a comedy anyway. Still highly recommend for any age as the topics it covers are universally relatable.
