That Girl Lay Lay

My daughter loves it & it is honestly a delight to have something to watch together with her. It gives me Sister Sister and That's So Raven vibes that I grew up on. People bashing, apologies, ADULTS bashing a show where the intended audience is people that still consider Santa a real person. Get a life adults. This isn't for us. Enjoy it as I am because it is bonding time for my daughter & I. That is priceless & brings me to love the show. Especially the fact I can understand the adults in the show's perspective. Thinking "yeah that would be about how I react lol". Think of when our parents would watch stuff that we loved.

All the characters especially the main character are extremely annoying. The acting is so over the top and obnoxious. The jokes (if you can call them that) are horrible. It seriously seems like a 8 year old wrote this show. What has happened to Nickelodeon shows?!?!

Although, I love this show it does have some problems with the chatacters and plots but lets see how far the show goes.

Someone said something to the effect that it's like "That's So Raven" -nope it's nothing like "That's So Raven." "That Girl Lay Lay" is original. Just because there's a black family with black kids does not make a copy of Raven's shows.

I've seen worse kids show...Side Hustle; Fred The Show; Young Dylan; Liv and Maddie for example...and a whole bunch of other bad kid shows that I can't recall their names because I've vanquished them out of my mind.

Season 2 is funnier. I'm sure they have better writers now.

I do like all of the characters.

The parents: are cool and down-to-earth parents yet corny to their daughter-that's how it usually is. They say real parent things while maintaining their intelligence. So often, writers will make parents (or the dad) stupid. These parents are talented, funny and give just enough.

Sadie: acts like a teen. She's giving zaniness and poise-she's like the 'straight man' and comic relief wrapped up into one.

Lay Lay: is the cute, sassy and fashionable friend. Although technically she is an avatar who is now in human form. Sadie wished for a helping, kind friend (something to that effect) and during a shooting star, the avatar from her positive affirmation app came out of her phone.

Marky-entrepreneurial money hungry little brother (Iol) who's always coming up with ways to make money. He's like any tv show little brother who gets in the way and bribes his sister. He's dapper, although Lay Lay doesn't think so.

I was sad when "Henry Danger" went away-no this did not replace...but they're both zainy, over-the-top stuff happenings. Kids doing thing and parents oblivious to what they're doing.

The entire show was insanely messy and unrealistic, even for a kids show. Like, i don't understand how Lay Lay and Sadie crashed a go-kart through school walls and the teacher applauded them for that -- they should've been expelled, or at least suspended. I also feel like the entire show lacked educational principles, like my 10 year old cousin watched this with me, and she said she learned nothing from this show. Oh, and the annoying laughing track NEEDS to be stopped. I swear, they add the laughing track at everything, whether its funny or not. It's literally so unnecessary, especially with a show where the jokes are ass.

Honestly, all the characters are either really irritating, or really basic. Like, Sadie's entire nerdy personality genuinely made my eye twitch. Seriously bro, nobody cares about your stupid ass sock it to me 5000.. I also believe that Lay Lay was excessively sassy, obnoxious and not a good role model as the main character. She always thinks she's the best, when she's not bro.. Everybody else is just eh to me, I can only tolerate Graydon, because he actually humbled those ass characters.

The songs in this show is also not it, I feel like Lay Lay's songs are very repetitive in terms of the lyrics and the rhymes are very mediocre. The characters in the show act like she's some amazingly talented main stream rapper who can rap as fast as eminem or something -- but she's literally the most amateur rapper ever bro..

And then, we got the acting... it's genuinely one of the worst acting I've ever seen. I'm sorry, but Sadie's over-exaggerated facial expressions is one of the reasons why she's my least favourite character. It's all so cringey and unrealistic, it ruins the entire show.
