TV Review - Tron Uprising

Tron Uprising Title

Every week on Thursday nights Disney XD has been televising an incredible show called Tron: Uprising.  There were many complaints about the poor and simplistic writing of Tron: Legacy, and I think that those complaints would not carry through with this show.  In fact I have heard multiple people say that this is the type of writing that Legacy should have had.

Summary: The show takes place in between the original Tron movie and Tron: Legacy.  C.L.U. has been gradually taking over the grid and his army has reached Argon city.  It mirrors a Nazi-like occupation which subjects the programs to various types of injustice.  As a result of certain events, one program, Beck (Elijah Wood), decides to fight back against the armies of C.L.U.  Taking on the identity of Tron, who is believed to be dead, Beck becomes a vigilante fighting against the unjust occupation.
