This aspires towards the epic - and at times almost touches the heights. But it is weighed down by its own over-ambition - and by being mismatched with a paltry 5 episodes, which creates a rushed, hectic fusion of far too many elements competing for a moment of attention. He-Man, after an early essay in errantry, is once more relegated to the sidelines in favour of Adam and a diverse supporting cast, only asserting himself again briefly at the end. There are too many plotlines and none are fully completed, with contrivances taking their place as deus ex machina (literally...) and amateurish writing. A pity.
