Nova Jones

I know its a show for young children but it unfortunately came into my presence. It was just a background show, but even as a background sound it brought my ears physical pain. I love when kids shows are wacky and dumb for the sake of comedy, this show however needs fire, and lots of it. Burn it, burn it all and lets never speak of it again.

I could tell straight away this show was largely written by at least one middle aged man. They're not usually ideal for writing shows aimed mostly at young girls, unless they're either very talented or at least have children, preferably the ages of those the show is aimed at. I obviously don't know the personal circumstances of all the writing team, but I see Andrew Ellard's main job is a script editor, a job which he clearly rates himself very highly at, if his online reviews of his own script editing work are anything to go by.

Sadly, script editors, whilst competent enough to write bits and pieces, rarely have the creative brain wiring and artistry of a writer. Their brains are simply wired differently and there's no shame in that, just means they are better equipped for technical roles, rather than creative. Once they reach middle age and haven't managed to break into actual writing yet and are trying children's tv as an in, it's probably best to gently steer them back to their usual field, or this sort of garbage is vomited onto our screens.

Sorry to be harsh, but this was terrible all round, especially the writing. Sadly it probably hasn't done wonders for the young actors involved either and to be completely fair to them, it's probably hard to perform miracles with such a lackluster script.

My kids, at least one of which is definitely of the target audience, both hated it and one even rated it "Worse than Cocomelon" which is highly unpopular in our household.

Please don't make another series. Ever.

So glad we watched this,ideal fun for all

Nova Jones is a breath of fresh air! The writing is superb, with sharp dialogue and intricate plotlines that keep you hooked from start to finish. The performances are extraordinary, bringing depth and authenticity to every scene. The balance of humor, drama, and action is perfect, making it a universally appealing show. Visually stunning with top-notch special effects, Nova Jones is a triumph in storytelling and execution. A must-watch masterpiece!

The performances in Nova Jones are nothing short of extraordinary. The cast is uniformly excellent, with each actor bringing their character to life in a way that feels authentic and deeply nuanced. The titular character, Nova Jones, is portrayed with such charisma and depth that it is impossible not to be captivated by her journey. The supporting cast is equally strong, with standout performances that add richness and depth to the overall narrative.

Me and my 8 year old daughter have absolutely loved watching the series and are excited to hear that there are more on the way.

It's such a fun and inventive world and it's so cleverly written.

I can recognise some brilliant nods to other iconic sci-fi series, while my daughter just loves it all as she finds it, without knowing some of the inspiration behind those elements.

The team have obviously uncovered a wonderful star in Molly and the rest of the talented cast.

The musical elements also really elevate this from just another kids sitcom, the care and production values are extraordinary. It more than holds its own against the sort of US teen shows from bigger streamers.

Can't wait for more!

Great kids show with lots of fun and wonderful music. Molly rainford is super as Nova. Bbc needs to make another series as I can imagine the kids will be very vested in nova Jones.
