      I was a huge fan of the OG Tron movie, was definitely a huge fan of Tron Legacy and this series just gave me more insight into the world of Tron and the Grid. I haven't finished it yet, but definitely a worthwhile series to watch through. Slow burn can be good when there is a worthy payoff.

      I remain disappointed that it hasn't had a DVD or Blu-ray release yet (not even bootleg, AFAIK). I was fortunate enough to catch this when it was available on On-Demand, so I have the fond memories, but this needs a physical release.

      I really enjoyed it. I saw it as a Batman Beyond story set in the world of Tron with the old hero passing on their mantle to the next generation. And I'm also a proponent of the theory that Tron killed Beck as the show is set before the TRON Legacy movie and in the movie theirs only one Tron, clearly the original, and he's under the control of CLU wielding two disks and by we see that by the end of season one of Uprising that CLU is coming and there are still two Trons' each with one disk. When I first saw the show I thought that the original Tron was going to turn when he submitted himself to be repurposed in the last episode and at the end of it I thought that that's where the story would go in the second season with Beck having failed to save Tron and he had actually been repurposed.

    Uprising takes place between the original and Legacy. By Legacy, Tron has been repurposed and now works for Clu as Rinzler, Beck is nowhere to be seen or even mentioned of, which heavily implies (if not out right proves) that the uprising failed, and Beck (and probably the rest of the cast) was most likely derezzed. Now, I’m sure if the series continued the writers probably had a clever back door to explain this, but since the series was cancelled, the horrifying implication is all fans have to go on until Disney continues the franchise. Maybe in the third movie?

    Finally! Recognition for one of the most beautifully animated and fleshed out spin-off show. My brother and I love both Tron movies, but he is absolutely in love with this show. He praises the hell out of it. Back when Tron Legacy came out, my brother made the disks each program has and we would have disk battles. They hurt as hell but we had fun. When this show came out, however, we were in our late teens and my brother got into graphic novel art. He's actually a very talented artist. So of course, for months during and after the run of the show, my brother had drawn by memory every one of the characters and their world in his notepad. They are gorgeous. I couldn't draw anything like that. When the show ended and there was no news of a continuation, it bummed out my brother hard. Hopefully now with Disney Plus being available, the cult following will grow and we will have many more amazing stories to follow.

    Is it wrong to think of Tron is “Disney’s Star Wars?” Mind you we know what Disney’s Star Wars is, but it does feel as though the World of Tron is always ripe for spin offs or exploration and yet... it does feel like it can be overwhelming every time we dive into it. Whether if it was the show, spin-off, or even the time spent in Kingdom Hearts (considering how it plays such a big role apparently in the story).
    It does make me wonder if in the future, they could try and approach Tron once more in the future and explore it kind of like how they have with Star Wars. Try and make it into its own grand world. The show certainly did that and it does feel like they could try it again if the time and resources are thrown at it to make it happen.

    The visuals are so good that all i have as desktop backgrounds are backgrounds of Argon city, Tron City and random concept arts for enviroments in Legacy, Evolution and Uprising.
    Man as a huge TRON fan this show is really something else, yeah is a pretty slow burn and takes its sweet ass time to get to the good stuff, but when it drops, it drops *HARD* and fast, is like every episode you are at the edge of your chair just trying to get as much as possible of the episode because you know things are going to happend and happend in a grand way.
    Whenever a character dies, whenever Beck thinks he has the upper hand something happends that changes that mentality, Beck its not just your typical hero of the week protagonist, he is deep into something else that's bigger than him and i think that's why you see more of a slow progress in the first half of the season than the rest of it, they are trying to stablish how big, treatening and impossing that world is, and how hopelessly small and powerless Beck feels about everything surrounding him, they show his day to day life and how a single stuff affects this forever and slowly you can see him being more and more sorry for getting into this crazy idea of him making things "right" because Beck at first was fueled by the unfair death of his friend Bodie, but then surprizingly you see Beck trying to backing out at every moment whenever things gets out of hand and TRON "laser" focused on starting the revolution and dethroning CLU 2.0 but cleverly enough the show doesnt quite wants you to know all the full details of why TRON is so focused on doing that whenever that implies if he has to do it alone or with the help of Beck, because TRON knows if he tells Beck all the truth behind his "obsession" he might just desert him and he has to do it all alone, this conflict and secretcy is what makes TRON Uprising so exciting to watch because the show activedly hides things from both the characters and the viewer, making you wanting to unveil things alongside Beck.
    Alongside the visuals this show its too good for Disney let alone for Disney XD, and its a shame that because idiocy of Disney execs of not knowing how to market this show properly or giving a more reasonable access to it or letting this show on a fixed time schedule and not doing the old thing of "rabbit jumping" the show from time frame to time frame made this show being canned because "low ratings" that Disney blame it more on "it doesnt sell enough merchandising" to "we are the idiots that didnt let a show to have a chance before blaming it on it doesnt sell enough toys"

That, along with its sense of govenment corruption, actually resulted what I feel was some of the grizzliest moments I've ever seen from anything under the DIsney umbrella. One particular moment I remember well from the show was one scene where two friends are walking on 'derezzed' particles, resulting in this banter:
