This version is more positive for kids and has more relatable content than the original Barbie Dreamhouse series.
However, the reason the original was good was because it was nonsensical and hilarious, not because anything was positive or relatable. The original is about immortal plastic dolls living in plastic houses in Malibu, it was escapist silly fun for the whole family. It doesn't feel like other kid shows because it's so absurd and imaginative.
My daughter(11), husband, and I loved watching the previous series when she was younger and it's still good, but when we watched this new version today we were surprised that they went in the complete opposite direction of the original. It's not a bad kids show but there's none of the irreverent humor or really anything clever or interesting here in my opinion. My daughter also didn't like that Barbie lacked her endless optimism and willingness to be an open book with her friends in the new version. And where's Midge? She's the best character.
I realize this is a silly review but we got pretty riled up watching the new Barbie Dreamhouse series today, and that's also a bit silly. So it seemed fitting.
