The Thundermans (2013–2018)
9/10
A sensible review by a young adult.

To look at this show in context, we have to realize that it's a Nick show with a target audience for kids->teens; is in the comedy genre and since it's not really meant to be an adult blockbuster, well, it doesn't have have to be fancy, or have backed up scientifically explanations on everything, it's obvious the show is here to deliver fun. And it's great to remember what being a kid is -- kids love fantasy, stories, the unusual and fantastic. Add too much explanations and you loose the charm of a comedy. Well, this just to put in in perspective.

Personally, and as an adult who loves both good family comedy shows and then stuff like Sherlock BBC or Supernatural, I thought the show was funny, charming, engaging, and got better with every episode. Sure Nora's laser eyes at the pilot seem cheesy at first, but when you let yourself sit back and enjoy the show for what it's intended to, well, the family grows on you real quick. Especially the kids, they're the most ridiculous things. I ended up seeing the entire first season in one night, and that's a lot, considering I'm not the target audience, right? Anyway, I can't wait for the next episodes and really hope the show gets renewed for more seasons to come, my rating for it ranges between a 7-8, but as a kids show, I'd give it all 9.

Enjoy and ignore the person who gives off the idea that art is a joke to them, no show objectively deserves a 0, people have been putting time and effort and love in creating this thing.
