To be fair, I never watched the original Digimon, so I can't really say anything. But I do know that this show doesn't deserve all the criticism it gets.
From what I know, it's DRASTICALLY different from the previous Digimon series. Different art style, older-looking characters, and a completely different concept. From what I understand, the previous Digimon series were about children being sent to the digital world, and Savers/Data Squad is about a group of people who capture Digimon who are sent to the human world. Honestly, I see why fans of the original might not like this one at first glance. But if you get past the first few episodes (which in all honesty, are a little cheesy), I'd say you'd enjoy it. The series gets a little darker, and a lot more serious.
If you're a die-hard Digimon fan, maybe sit this one out. If you're new to the series, I'd say you'd enjoy it.
Overall, I give this a well-deserved 8/10
