I couldn't stop watching this, it was captivating. The plot was enticing, the writing was great (from witty to academic to highly emotional, etc) and best of all, it was unpredictable (I haven't read the comics). The music, cinematography, and outfits, were also fantastic. They really captured the mannerisms and emotional instability of being a kid. I usually think child actors aren't great, but these kids did a great job. Ultimately, I thought this was better than ST.
