I am only on here because my 4 year old daughter discovered this show through Netflix. So maybe I needed to read these books first, or discover this show when I was younger, as these other reviews seem so good???
My opinion on this show: Henry's behavior is indeed horrid. Peter is a spoiled brat, treated as a favorite of his parents. His parents are horrible parents. Everyone on the show could be called HORRID.
One quote I heard the mom say once is "Henry, why can't you be more like Peter?" Maybe you should love all your kids equally even though they are all different with different personality traits and all that? Maybe when you say things like that it makes the kids behavior even more awful? Maybe it makes him feel like he will never be good enough for his parents??? The whole concept of this show makes me shudder. The introduction of "Perfect Peter" makes it all the more worse for me.
I don't know, but this show hit a nerve because I normally don't bother reviewing kids shows, but I would give it ZERO starts if I was able to, sort of like the episode my daughter just finished watching where Henry got zero stars for cleaning his room!!!
