If you love GIJOE you'll love this. This cartoon was fantastic. Unfortunately it only had one season. Great for kids and adults!
I would recommend this to a friend

GI Joe With An Interesting Premise

GI Joe Renegades was a show that ran briefly back in 2011-2012 on the HUB network. It featured notable talents such as Lee Majors, Clancy Brown and Michael Emerson.
The packaging states that this blu ray is the "Complete First Season". In actuality, it only aired for one season so this product should be considered the complete series.
The show's premise offered an A-Team style of plot-lines. Characters that are familiar to the fans of the GI Joe stories in the '80's such as Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, etc. are accused of a crime they didn't commit and are on the run from government authorities led by familiar characters from COBRA such as Baroness, Destro and of course, Cobra Commander. Each week they provide assistance to those in need in the hopes that everyone will realize that COBRA is not the friend to the world they portray themselves as in media outlets.
On to my review of the product itself. Equipment used to view the series was a Samsung HDTV, Sony Blu-Ray player, and 6.1 Sony Home Theater surround sound.
The animation looks crystal clear on this blu-ray, although I have to admit I'm not crazy about the style but that's purely a matter of taste. The DTS-HD sound matrix also adds better sound than when the series was being broadcast so that was a welcome bonus.
The packaging itself is good. All discs are held securely in the case.
Special features are a bit lacking in my opinion. There was only a behind the scenes featurette and commentaries.
If you're a GI Joe fan, I think you'll like this series so I would encourage you to give it a try. I think it offers a good twist on the GI Joe universe.
