-1 Caution advised for older children, including teenagers, and sensitive adults.Season Three of SONIC PRIME on Netflix follows the fallout between Sonic the hedgehog, who has superpowers, and his seeming friend, Nine, who has stolen the reassembled Paradox Prism, a device that can bend reality, and plans to use it to transform one of five alternate dimensions for himself, but Nine’s actions could destroy the other four dimensions and everyone in them. Designed to be the last season, Season Three of SONIC PRIME finishes strong, with the final season of the best Sonic series of all time, finishes strong but lacks some of the tight storytelling of the first two, with a dominant worldview of biblical morality with a focus on self-sacrifice and friendship.
