I've only seen a few episodes here and there from when my partner watched the whole series but I generally liked MLP and this only affirms that opinion.
The show definitely has its flaws and some serious ideological problems from time to time (characters receive "cutie marks" which are a bit like a vague determinism, the land is ruled over by a 1000+ year old regime of superbeings with very long indeterminate lifespans and sometimes a mere mortal can be elevated to join their caste if the reigning rulers feel like it, the one major threat to that system was portrayed as a cult leader and a hypocrite), but overall if you like thoughtful kids' shows that have enough wit and cleverness to entertain adults too, worth watching more.
