1, I saw the original version back in the day, but not the recent reboot. I don't really have anything to say about the original version because, as far as I'm concerned, it was just another random cartoon I had watched as a kid whenever it happened to be on TV.
2, If you're referring to the 2016 miniseries, then yes, I did eventually manage to watch that Bionicle series (one of the very few times I tried to watch anything on Netflix, so simply finding it was a bit of a learning process). I thought it was okay. Nothing spectacular, but I certainly wouldn't mind watching it again if I had the opportunity.
