Project Mc²

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.

The first couple episodes are pretty bad, but the later seasons are much better. It reminds me a little bit of Gem from the 80's. Fun show for girls.

This show is fun and interesting and has many mysteries which it even better. I took one star away because of 'Go us, go us' and the silly jokes they make. Rest all good and it's fantastic show for all age groups. Good Work 👍

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.

We wanted to like this show. The premise sounds wonderful. Who wouldn't want a show about girls using STEM subject to solve crime? AND Danica McKeller is in it?! Sounds fabulous! So my daughter and I gave it a try.

Unfortunately the show fails to deliver. The girls are astonishingly stupid. The scene that sticks out the most to me is how the social-media guru left location services on when she posted online about being with a prince they were protecting. Rather than this being a learning experience, it was hand-waved with an "oh no, his fangirls found us." At best, they're caricatures of smart girls, and that's not a good thing since it says smart girls are really stupid. My 6-year-old pointed that out.

Danica isn't truly in the show. Her part is basically phoned in. She's only shown via video, and the quality is such that she can record her lines anywhere there's a black backdrop. I suspect she really does that.

So we are on the hunt again for smart girls into STEM subjects.
