You missed an incredibly amazingly well done version then. This past CG version was brilliant in all the right ways for older fans.
This new version looks like it's perfect for the younger kid demographic, and I'm sure kids will likely enjoy it, and the story will probably surprise with how it innovates the franchise and grows the characters.
And if it tanks, then they can always work in a CG Mikey stinger at the end and say it was cause he ate a bad pizza late one night.
But you know, after so many iterations of the turtles from super anime armor to capes and tights, to even buff superheroes with sharp angular masks, doing something completely wacky that still has that sense of family and growth is likely to be interesting. And even at the start of the CG series, there were people worried about the number of toes, the weapons being "wrong", and more, yet it really did turn out to be one of the best TMNTs done yet.
So while it may not be the TMNT I prefer, I'll give it a shot to see if it's a fun watch, and who knows, maybe kids really will love it. Laser weapons, and colorful striking imagery, and the right kind of subtone including more emphasis on don't judge by appearance, as well as brotherly growth and Raph looking out for his brothers and whatever other character growth it could have, this could be interesting.
Though I do gotta admit, this April is definitely one of my new faves already, but Kunoichi April was awesome too. This one has so much character and attitude in the design right from the get go that she looks fun.

They look similar, but he appears to be called an Origami Ninja "Confetti Commando" So make of that what you will.
Not in the first season. He may still appear in the show later. This version is trying to slow build up a lot of aspects so it won't rush through stories as fast as the previous did. That's why the previous ended. They told all the stories they could and didn't have much left to do, at least not enough for a full new season. So to prevent that from happening again so quickly, they pushed the story back farther this time, and will build it up more. This is why we're starting with Raph as the protective big brother and Leo gets to revel in his youth more. So they can build up the character aspects of that changeover, their growth in why, and dealing with it as brothers that care about each other, but also the rivalry it caused. So likely Shredder will come in during season 2 or 3. His and Karai's redesigns/reimaginings likely aren't ready yet.
