I didn't watch the original show, but as a San Diego resident(there's actually no relation between the place and her name really), I felt like I should watch the Netflix show. As I watched it I had few gripes and most were with silly things like how her grappling hook is ineffective and she could have used particular gadgets in certain situations. I got lots of nostalgia of playing Sly Cooper on PS3 as a kid, as the show has stylistic and story similarities. It had some girl power ideas sprinkled in, but didn't push it on the viewer in such a way that would subvert the show's enjoyability. Over all a great watch and a fun time for a person of any age.
