For me, this show is nowhere near as great or "groundbreaking" as everyone says it is. However, it is an enjoyable show with some charming characters and some catchy songs for musical lovers. I find the whole Gem lore rather interesting. However, the problem I do have with the show is the clunky and almost forced way of switching between episodes that follow the Gem story and Slice-of-Life episodic episodes. I sometimes wish the creators would just pick one of those types of stories and stick with it or just find a better way to integrate the two. Outside of that, it's a pretty good show. Though not as great as the critics say, the show is worth an 8/10 and I would surely recommend this show to any cartoon fan.
Not a Masterpiece, but definitely worth a watch
