I always have been a big fan of the movie "Ghostbusters" directed by Ivan Reitman, and I think that this show is a great addition to that world. The storyline takes place some years later and the atmosphere and the stories were darker than in the movies or in the first TV-show, but that is good.
In "Extreme Ghostbusters" new team of young ghost-busters have to deal with some of the most terrifying creatures and villains, in a series which combines perfectly well the seriousness with some effective moments of comedy.
The new stories are quite good and interesting, showing a great character development in each episode. And the animation, without being great, keeps a good level during the whole series, having some cool designs of characters and monsters.
Without being a masterpiece, "Extreme Ghostbusters" is the perfect proof of how a classic franchise could be updated without losing the main essence from it, resulting in something that could be enjoyed by new viewers and fans of the original stuff as well.
