Bluey: Season 3

Bluey's third season (or at leats the part already available on Disney+) confirms and underlines what I already knew: it's the best show on TV. I already said I everything I had to say when I wrote about it after watching the first two seasons so I got nothing else to add besides bonjour pavlova!

DC Super Hero Girls: Season 1

I watched this with my (almost) 5 years old and we had to stop after episode 26 because that's what we've got on Netflix. It's a lovely show, funny, visually cool, sometimes it really makes me laugh and my daughter loves it. She already was a huge fan of Wonder Woman but now also loves Supergirl.

Oh, and it's full of nice homages to DC comics, clearly put there for the geeky parent, which I guess is a plus.

Tumble Leaf: Season 3

Even better than season 2: more experimentation, more narration, more crazy ideas, a bit of continuity and some really moving moments.

Chip and Potato: Season 1

This is cute, lovely, fun, cute, full of nice teaching but most of all incredibly cute.

Bluey: Season 1

A lovely show, that makes both me and my daughter laugh so much with its monty pythonesque humour but is also touching, lovingly real, crazily imaginative. What a huge surprise.

It's really cute and visually fascinating, plus the voiceover is quite good. Of course, being clearly targeted to children, it's really on the nose with its "messages", but it's still a nice watch. And my three-year-old daughter loves it.

Pete the Cat: Season 1

They recently added six episodes as a "Season 1 - Part 2" bundle and I gotta say I think they got quite better. The series was already smart and cute but these new episodes are more fun, confident, even moving at times. I love watching it with my daughter.

Hilda: Season 1

Visually great, incredibly cute and emotional, smart, well written and amazingly imaginative. My daughter adores it, after watching it we bought the comic book and it's a constant re-read.

Tumble Leaf: Season 1

Visually, the stop motion is really, really cool. Even when the story is frankly a bit boring for me, I’m still amazed by the aesthetics and my daughter has fun anyway. The lessons are always clearly explained by the main character (many different variations of “Oh, I figured it out: I have to do this and that”), so it can be a bit dull for me, but it’s smart, full of interesting things, and it’s about kids playing outside, learning things by experimenting with stuff and getting their hands dirty. Which is a cool thing I hope my daughter will do more and more, even though she hates having her hands dirty.

So, again, it's only for kids, but it’s good. And there's two or three episodes near the end of the season that I really, really loved, not as a father, just as a spectator: Parachute Play is quite moving, I dare say, while Bedtime Story and A Treasure Hunt are visually and structurally really well made.
