Look, I would love to find a good show for kids that empower little girls, and if boys like it too, then great. But this show is really not good for many reasons. The actual content is incredibly useless. ALL ABOUT LOOKS AND SOCIAL MEDIA ATTENTION. We already have so much "influencer" content and competition out there! What terrifies me is that this is directed to young kiddos. It's teaching them to compete for glam and attention. To crave popularity and become dependable of "likes" and approval from strangers. It's such an unhealthy message. I feel like I dropped a few IQ points watching this. There was a girl who had a terrible day because her outfit wasn't right, and she actually said "this is a total disaster" - seriously? Is this what kids show want to teach girls? That everything depends on their looks? Her friends "help" her feel better, but not by saying that she's more important than her outfit, but by telling her she will find the right outfit. This is outrageous.
The character design is nonexistent. Someone "designed" one character and obviously duplicated the model a bunch of times. Even older people look the same as younger ones. Just complete laziness and lack of design skills. The girls are dressed with tight clothes and wear more make up than a clown. There's a boy dating two girls at once in the show too. Such a terrible cliche. The boys are also pretty much one character copy-pasted into multiple versions of the same terrible design.
So many other shows out there! If you want a rainbow sparkly show that actually teaches something, 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' is great. If you like action, 'Action Pack' is great and also teaches some valuable lessons. Both are on Netflix kids too.
I love rainbows and sparkly things, as well as action packed shows for kids too. As long as the show can actually teach something, it can be a crazy hot pink or rainbow fest or a monochromatic bland scenario. Just give us some actual growth in some way instead of more mental numbness.
