I have no idea how Bluey manages to continually not only meet the emotional beats for the messages that it is delivering, but exceed in doing so in every way possible.

This episode is massively underrated in my opinion, and manages to explain the concept of a hero's journey in an entertaining and heartfelt manner. But what really elevates this episode from being "good" to phenomenal lies in the small details in the conclusion- you realize that everyone involved in this story is the hero in the final moments of the episode. Every character's struggle is overcome in the end and is told through beautiful visual accompanied by swelling music (this show has absolutely no right to have THAT good of a score.) The only thing I can say now is go give this gem of a show a watch.

A lot of articles have been published as of late speculating over the widespread viewership of Bluey, how it has grown to be more than just a preschool show. As someone who is in their twenties and was introduced to this lovely program through a few nannying gigs, I thought I may share my two cents on the series.

The show follows the adventures of the title character, Bluey, a blue heeler who is being raised by her parents with her younger sister Bingo. Together, the family and a set of recurring friends and neighbors go about their lives as they grow and learn together.

I can honestly say I have never seen a series that continually portrays healthy parenting dynamics like the two parents, Bandit and Chilli, do. The show gently teaches the audience lessons about life on topics that are ordinarily very difficult to discuss to anyone with the same amount of grace that Fred Rogers did in his show.

The animation and design of the show is gorgeous, with a bright and colorful palette that reflects the tone of the comedic and heart warming episodes. A perfect blend of subtle adult humor is sprinkled throughout the show, and the children are written as endearing and curious about the world around them. If I had to recommend a few episodes in particular, I would tell anybody to watch "Baby Race", "The Creek", "Rain", and most of all, "Sleepytime", which had me in tears by the episode's end credits.

So why are my fellow Gen-Z'ers watching this show? Why is it able to capture the attention of anyone who watches, regardless of age and background? I suppose it is not nearly the mystery that media outlets are portraying it to be, so much as it is simply just one of the most thoughtful, genuinely hilarious, and beautiful works of art of our time.
