I'd say the real turning point is the Season 2 finale. That aside, I totally agree with the review.

Gets better after Season 2
At first, I liked the show. It had a funny randomness to it that I liked, and they weren't afraid to show some cartoon violence, which gave me the nostalgia of Tom and Jerry all over again in a new show. I liked it, but wasn't really invested in the show.
And then the third season came out, and they decided to get darker and deeper with the characters. And this is when I started to really love the show. That extra depth that they added (and continue to add) really gets you emotionally involved in the characters (Marceline and Ice King in particular). While some episodes are still random nonsense, they do a great job of putting in an episode every now and then that makes you just sit and think "Wow. I can't believe how deep and serious this just got." Especially for someone like me, who really gets attached to character growth and interaction, the show just keeps getting better from Season 3 onward.
