amy L @RT35184396 Apr 26 This is not G rated content. Storylines deviate from the original series to include LGBTQ content, a trans child and themes inappropriate to a G rating. I love the series growing up and couldn’t wait to share it with my daughter. I was not however, prepared to have a conversation about these topics. Totally understand modernizing tech to make it feel relevant to today’s children but this goes well beyond that. The whole thing feels forced to push political and social awareness views. Especially, with a G rating. See more Diane H @RT03388489 05/14/2023 I watched five episodes, and it's good for younger people, but just a little too young for my tastes. See more 08/01/2022 Took one of the best book series of all time, changed nearly every character and plot point to make it more 'woke'. Literally the worst TV show I've ever seen. If there was a no star option, I would give this disgrace to the original books a negative ten. See more 12/19/2021 Its really bood. Very in the now at the same time very heartfelt. What the kids to watch nowadays. Especially girls. It will teach and show hows friendship should be See more 07/04/2021 Loved this modern take on a much-loved childhood series, which brings a refreshing element of comedy and wit, and the sense of being "in it" with the characters, as opposed to just story-telling. A successful appropriation of the original books into a future with technology, social media and other challenges facing young people, not to mention the awesome soundtrack, this series is a massive leap from the previous series attempts/movies. Especially moved by the added themes of social acceptance and finding bridges through cultural barriers that was not so pronounced in the book. These are deliberate social comments on very current (and polemic) social issues - same-sex relationships, gender identity, community responsibility, etc. Although a certain social ideation is very obvious, the themes are simultaneously subtle in the series (like when Mary-Anne goes to babysit a new client, and no big deal is made about the child's identifying with a different gender). Can't wait for Season 2, and 3 and, how many books were there? See more 01/25/2021 Incredible adaptation of a classic children's literature. See more Read all reviews
