It is easy on the eyes and displays great production value (ambiance, set designs, camera work, gorgeous images), but as endearing as the main characters are, they all act too dumb for the viewer to get involved into this shaggy tale. This is the classic bad writing issue of shows that grip you at first but peters out fast: no coherence in behavior or storyline. I am watching the series in French with english subtitles (yes, I can read and and hear at the same time) so I know this is not a translation issue. It is just bad story writing. I saw the 2 existing seasons, and I doubt a 3rd season can bring that mess to a reasonable conclusion.
Oh, and I downgrade the show by 1 star for this: the guinea pig in the story is mistreated. No one should grab a guinea pig the way Nounours does (by its dorsal hair?! Are you insane or just too dumb, man???). And no guinea pig should be left in a tiny cage without a guinea pig mate to commiserate with.
