Very good start to what will hopefully be an excellent series. Could have done with alot more action in the later episodes but this is definately worth a watch. I wasn't sure about the design for when one of the kids goes super-powered, but the super cuteness of the character, actually make his bloodlust all the more horrific. Hope this is a teme that continues through the series.
