Back when I was known as Madelinefan, I gave the original series a 2/10 citing poor CGI and repetitiveness as the main issues of the series but now that I've seen it's Lane spin-off, let's see how they compare.
Compared to the original Cocomelon, I'd say it's a massive improvement and the series itself is more comparable to Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (although I'd rather watch that compared to this). Since the series now revolves around JJ (who now talks) and his friends expericing everyday problems.
Songs do still play a pretty big role in the series but they aren't the main topic of the series and are typically only sung once or twice (seriously though, am I the only one who thinks Cocomelon Lane is eerily similar to Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood?)
Oh, and speaking of Daniel Tiger, Cocomelon Lane also has imagination scenes where JJ and his friends (I think they're friends) imagine about all sorts of things (for example, one episode they imagine themselves as animal soccer players).
Overall, I think the show itself is a pretty big improvement compared to the original Cocomelon and I think it's a lot easier to watch as well. My biggest gripes with the series is that it's too similar to another show (in this case, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood) but I think the similarities are more coincidental than intentional. Overall, 5 stars.
