The Story

Beck is a young program who becomes the skillful leader of a revolution inside the computer world of The Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tesler. Beck will be trained by Tron - the greatest warrior the Grid has ever come to know. Tron will not only teach Beck the fighting and light cycle skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but he will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful, strong leader. Destined to become the next Tron of the system, Beck adopts Tron's persona and becomes the archenemy of General Tesler and his oppressive forces.

So 3 episodes in, i can say this show is amazing, beautiful art direction and animation, incredible music that imitates Daft Punk's score while having several great themes of it's own, sick action sequences, and a pretty excellent voice acting and writing. Basically everything I loved about the two movies wrapped up into a television format. I seriously hope you guys start watching this, no really, if you can stop raving about the Legend of BORRA (even though i love Korra) and watch dis show.

Disney XD? I saw some episodes on Disney Channel. It's a shame because Disney Channel would finally have a good show other than Phineas and Ferb.

This show is amazing! Seriously I will make you watch it if you think it looks bad. Joking aside, I love it's plot and it's atmosphere. I also like the soundtrack(considering a lot is taken from legacy.) Not a huge fan of the art style but I'll live.

Here's a treat for fans of Tron Legacy

So I guess not many people are interested in the show given how dead this topic is. Anyway according to Wkipedia (don't judge me) the new episode airs on October 19.

I actually watch it since Beck is pretty awesome. I also like the political thought that the show presents.

I really didn't catch the political aspects of the show. Would you mind explaining?

I really can't wait till the next episode. Beck having to go against a vengeance fueled Tron.

[Black Mamba]

yeah i forgot to bump this, last episode was awesome, the next two part episode, which is supposed to hint at Tron's turn into Rinzler, is gonna be so good.

Tron must really hate *insert name I can't remember here* if he's willing to die to de-res him:
