Is it as good as the films?
It depends on your criteria.
I love the
Young Indy series, but it's different from the movies. Here are a few things to remember:
1) They were made for TV. The production values are still great, but they did have to cut some corners.
2) Indy's isn't the world's greatest adventurer...yet. He's a kid/teen developing into the character we know from the movies. Cut him some slack.
3) Each episode was directed by someone different. There's also a wide range of genre: war, romance, adventure, comedy, etc. If you see one episode and don't like it, watch another. Don't write off the whole series because of one episode.
4) It was created to be educational. I don't think that's a bad thing, but some people do. If you know that ahead of time, you won't be surprised.
