This review is for the parents so kids you can stop reading now and click thumbs down, you're probably not going to agree.
Mom, Dad....Your kids are going to love this show. Maybe that's a good thing....maybe. It clearly has a video game theme, targeting the same audience. Quick dialogue, fast cuts, bright colors you get it. Shockingly, I view my son watching tv as a welcome break from him playing video games. TV has a lot to offer kids developing mind...this, coming from a career educator/administrator. Sure I'd prefer him read the many books we buy from book fairs but I'm being real here.
The description from Netflix tells you everything you need to know. No surprises here. Does not come close to Netflix's Last Kids On Earth show. I was hoping it did. It should be put in a time capsule with a note stating ADHD PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE FROM 2020. My son is loving it. What does that say about him? Or me? Maybe it's my generation that needs to adjust because his ADHD way of doing things will be necessary for multitasking vocations of tomorrow. Or maybe, that's what I tell myself so I don't feel guilty for not having the energy to fight the READING vs. VIDEO GAME battle everyday.
Kudos to the creators for knowing the pulse of their audience. But I'll take Scooby Doo any day over this. Your child won't be any brighter for watching...They may even lose some brain cells. But, it's our jobs to replace them. Just be sure to take them somewhere cultural or watch a foreign film with them afterwards ...I'm kidding, one episode of Jeopardy will suffice...Wheel of Fortune if you're from West Virginia;)
I'm from NJ - we get made fun of all the time so settle down!
My 9 yr old would give this an A I'd give it a C-
Hope tomorrow is a good one!
