Henry Danger (TV Series) Back to the Danger: Part 1 (2018) User Reviews

Moral flaws in an otherwise great episode/show-writers' discretion advised!

[supermaggie · 6/10 · 10 May 2019]

(spoiler alert: references to many other episodes in the following text!): Despite not being the show's main target group agewise, I really like Henry Danger. But this episode felt too reckless to me, being much older than the alleged average viewer. No matter how bad Drex was/is, freezing a person in a conscious state is (a horrendous) torture and nobody deserves that, in particular not for such a long time/forever. And teasing and mocking him like Jasper does, is just plain sadism. In addition, the main characters, who are partners and friends are particularly impolite to each other in this episode, though I never enjoy them being mean to each other like earlier in the season with Ray spying on Henry not believing he was sick. I am aware that the shows humour partly lives off Ray, the adult, acting childish and competitive, but I enjoy the parts, when they act nice (like Henry going ice-fishing with Oliver in the volcano episode). And while the show once - tongue-in-cheek - informs viewers to not light a fire with no adults around, it fails to act responsibly when showing Stanley almost dying from a snakebite in the Wall dogs episode with no one caring or Henry recklessly throwing a bottle out of the helicopter in the middle of season one. But other than that, it is a good episode/show, and they (spoiler alert for a following episode) partly made up for it when Ray showed consideration for Charlotte in the subsequent spelling bee episode. Just a little bit more moral discretion and the show would be absolutely perfect.
