Odd Squad - Die Sondertruppe

This show is HIGHLY underrated on imdb in my opinion, with 6.5 stars at the time I write this. My 5-year old is hooked on this show, and I couldn't be happier about it. My wife and I are educators, and the explanations of math concepts from place value to comparison to basic addition and subtraction are really top notch, and written into the plots in such a way to be extremely engaging.

The humor is the show's other major selling point. The jokes are often simple (which is good so kids can get them), but the acting from ALL the child actors on the show is just top notch. Either they all watch SNL, or the show just has great direction, or something, because their timing is uncannily good and I am often involuntarily laughing from the kitchen as my daughter watches.

Representation is great on the show too, with cast members from diverse ethnicities, lots of roles of agency and responsibility for kids (especially girls), and all the characters are equally the butt of a slew of friendly jokes, so even though many of the characters are admirably portrayed, no one feels like they are on a pedestal.

Good acting, decent educational value, quirky. the best thing though is that unlike many kids shows, Odd squad is actually funny. im a teenager whos brothers watch this show and even i enjoy this show and laugh. The jokes are clever and while entirely family appropriate, sometimes meant for adults too

Though the description says this is for ages 5-8, everyone in my household (adults and older kids) love this show. It is some of the funniest TV out there, with a real weird sense of humor coming rapid fire.

The characters are fantastic, the writing is strong, and they fit in the educational parts seamlessly with the overall oddness going on.

Maybe the biggest selling point is that getting my kids out of bed for school is a pain, but I found that all I need to do is turn on Odd Squad and they stumble out on their own soon after as they want to see the show.

"Geared for children ages 5-8"

You must be joking. This show is way better for everyone --- all ages --- than almost anything else on TV in the US.

Since "the minimum length for reviews is 5 lines of text" I am adding this.

ps Now that I have read all the reviews, I am happy to see that everyone loves the show and amused to see that the first three reviews agree that it is a great show for all ages.

I don't know why it says for kids age 5 to 8 when I think older kids definitely enjoy it too.

Not only kids, but also adults find it hilarious like me for example.

And agent Oscar is the funniest.

I think he won an award for this role.

I don't watch/like most kids shows, but I always watch this one whenever I can.

The acting is great and as I said it's just hilarious.

And also Ms O is funny.

And all other actors are funny.
