The best thing this program has going for it is that it was NOT filmed by Disney. This is a children's program that parent can actually feel comfortable having their children watch. There are none of the annoying Disney clones in this one. No hyper active "mini adults" acting like over caffeinated people to tossing off one bon mot after another.
This is a "Canadian Children's Program". This means smaller budgets and WAY more realistic child characters.
I applaud Netflix decision to produce independent programming. I have liked many of their attempts at adult series. This one ... is just not so successful.
The basic problem with this series is awkward writing. Not even the most talented child actor could shine with this amateurish writing. The characters are bland and not well developed. The adult characters are even worse.
With all its rough edges, it is still considerably better than anything Disney has to offer.
