My 8 y/o daughter and I watched together and we had some great laughs! The story is quirky, which is what I love. Left me questioning what will happen next with Mayo and his friends! There are so many cookie cutter shows for kids nowadays -- please continue this show and give us who crave something different a place at the table! I've followed Elliott's career journey to present day and he's a remarkable kid. I know he will breathe life into Mayo! Let him show us what he can do please!

I found this show to be very cute and funny. The characters were charming and I want to know more! It's a show for the whole family, reminiscent of other family comedies but totally unique and quirky. The actors did a great job, though totally unique characters they were believable and compelling. The cinematography was really well done. I do hope they make a full season!

While I liked the color, LA suburb culture and photographic work, this is a bit strange for kids and way too slow. There's really not a lot going on which is why there is a lot of running in slow-mo. It's like watching paint dry. On the positive side, it kind of reminds me of the movie Paris Texas. Like the mom character, but the lead boy's character is just a little odd. Can't see it gaining a big following.

All in all I really liked this new take on the classic storytelling style that Will Mcrobb used on my all time favorites Pete and Pete. It's a fresh take and filled with the same quirky characters were used to. Really brought back all those wonderous childhood memories. As usual the music is great and simple guitar stuff. Definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of his previous shows.

Found this story line to be a refreshing and unexpected journey into the life of a young boy, Mayo. I viewed this pilot 3 times as I wanted to make sure it was OK for my son,(12 years), which it is and then I watched it with him and then we were telling my mom (80 years) about it and she wanted to see it and loved it. Great to find something we all liked and can watch together. With each viewing the story did not diminish, it grew. Don't know if this was based on the writer's real life, but the story and the actor portraying Mayo really bring to life the wonder, curiosity, pure love and sarcasm that only a tween boy can exude. My vote is to take this further, there are plenty of pearls to work with.

My 11-yr old kid was looking forward to seeing this when we first heard about it. She deemed it "quirky and fun." She especially likes the idea of a kid actually named Mayonnaise and now wants a pet ostrich and porcupine, of course. The characters were all really unique. We hope to see more episodes soon involving lots more silliness and relatable inner monologues.

Absolutely, adorable and refreshing!! Nothing like anything that is on TV! Exactly what kids television needs! It's a very quirky, out of the box, fresh take on a kids show but with adult humor in there as well. I laughed out loud on multiple occasions. Also beautifully shot and an amazing soundtrack!

It was part of 2017's Amazon Pilot Season with Skyward and Will vs The Future.
After being gone for years, currently Mayo and Will vs The Future are back on Prime Video. I rewatched and loved this show again.
This is an extremely quirky show that revels in being weird.
Brooke Markham is really great in this. She's also in the CW's In The Dark. (I enjoyed the first season but haven't been back.)
This would have been an amazing show had Amazon took it to series.

I do have to say that this was missed opportunity for amazon prime. The storyline was really good and I'm disappointed that it was never picked up for a full season while it had so much potential. I wish they can redo this series by reworking the script a bit and recasting.
