Project Mc²

It's a good thing to make more girls interested in science.

But the end does not justify the means. The girls in MC² are for the most part empty-headed dolls. Giving them more normal attire and meaningful dialogue and character would have helped to raise their credibility.

On the science part, it's also mostly show. There are too few examples of smart things kids their age could actually put together. Instead they are toting "inventions" of their own that are simply modified gadgets used by most kids.

Odd Squad is much better in every way, even though it targets a slightly younger audience. And for girl power, the Babysitters Club has both its feet soundly on the ground.

I watched this with my 6 year old daughter because we saw the dolls. I am stoked there is a live-action show that I can feel good about her watching. I don't let her watch the Disney channel tween shows. This show doesn't have a laugh track or rude sarcasm. The girls are smart and funny. The actresses are so adorable--it was cast wonderfully. I like the mystery/case-solving plot (instead of a typical "does that boy like me?" or "my teacher/parents are idiots" plot line). The adults are positive influences in the characters' lives. I also love the ethnic diversity of the characters and their clothes are so fun. I highly recommend this show on Netflix.

I'm giving it a 5 because my child for some reason loves this show. Sure it's got a cute concept but the script is horrible, it's a lot of really bad acting, and the girls are super annoying. On the plus it does have some good looking people on the show so bonus for that I guess.

The show was okay. I have seen a lot worse bur also a lot better. But it was definitely intertaining and i think if you are a smaller kid its a good show to watch. Like i said its very very cheesy but i watched it wirh my fruends and we enjoyed it but looking back we all say that it was cheesy but it can make us laugh. Its very distracting if you have a bad day so i do recommend it. Mostly to very you g children. I personally enjoyed trying some of the things they did. I was expecting it to be better but in the end it could have been a lit worse. The story line could have been better to. But i can not stay it was a horrible show. I would probably watch it again if i need a distraction. Again you cant hate it or live it.

My 9 year old in in love with science due to this show. She is having a blast with the online clues and experiments.

We need more shows like this. Smart, respectful young women who can do anything. Teaching our girls that "Smart is the new cool," is the best message that we can offer.

Having each girl specialize in an area and for them to have to work together to be successful is amazing. Also having supportive and smart parents is something that most shows do not have.

Please keep the series going. Please let me know what I can do to make sure that my daughter can have more shows to watch.
