There is a lot of pearl clutching in these other reviews. Yes, there are other more modern issues being tackled here but representation matters so this is a good thing. Not sure how teaching kids how to be tolerant and accepting of people's differences can be a bad thing. I read these books religiously as a kid so it's nice to revisit something that was such a huge part of my life. Some of the acting is a bit cheesy but it's still fun. My kids are definitely enjoying it as well and since this is aimed at their demographic I'd say it's a success. The reviews complaining about the lack of actual babysitting are comical to me; the books were about more than babysitting too so why wouldn't the show be as well? Not to mention that would be extremely repetitive and dull.
Anyway this is a cute modern version for people who can handle actual issues and representation.
