The idea itself is pretty interesting, and it's good that it's only a spinoff with absolutely no correlation with FiM, so in case if it ends up sucking, we don't even have to pay any mind to it.
There has been A LOT of hatred and pessimism towards this idea, but I kind of like it. It puts the Mane 6 in a whole new environment, and that's a good idea, especially if it's in the HUMAN world!
