As I posted elsewhere, the problem is that just a few episodes in, and they have already lost their way. Go watch Robotech or Starblazers, and you will see shows that have a fully fleshed out story that is moving you week by week (or back then, day by day) to a destination. As you go on the journey, you learn about the characters, but each story is one step closer to the end.
Renegades has spent two episodes not moving one step closer to the end. Yes, you learn more about SE and SS and Jinx. But the journey isn't to learn about the characters; it is to clear the names of soldiers and unlock the secret of Cobra. Unless we learn that SS is in league with Cobra, this moved us not one step closer to either. And it took TWO WEEKS out of the story. And worse, most of the story we saw in the first of the two episodes was just rehashed in the second.
Everyone keeps saying how important and how awesome the writing is, but this was bad editing. Now, later on, these episodes may prove pivotal, but for now, it was just an excuse to have completely ridiculous ninja battles. You can rent some Ranma and see better action than this!
Next week it looks like it is getting back on track - oddly through a Christmas episode! - so there is hope. But those were two episodes that didn't move the story forward.
