Odd Squad

Terrific show Great characters, good scripts (with cracking jokes) and it gets the maths lessons in without distracting from the entertainment. And it's not trying to get your kids to buy rubbish merchandise, so all good there.

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.

My husband and I caught this while looking for PBS NewsHour. We love it. We love the dialogue, we love the kids, we love that both boys and girls wears suits and all are quite serious about their mission. And you learn math! Did I mention we love it? We lover it!

Odd Squad is a great series! The humor fluctuates between silly absurdities and wit in a way that works pretty well for both adult and child viewers. Plenty of kids shows are just painful to sit through as a parent, but I'm always down for some Odd Squad. I'd say I've probably gotten more laughs out of this show than some "grown up" sitcoms. The kids enjoy the general silliness of the stories and the action/adventure/hero themes. The episodes incorporate educational elements into the story lines too, in ways that aren't overly intrusive or distracting. Most of the cast act their roles really well for their ages, and they definitely have some entertaining chemistry.

Highly recommended for parents with younger school-age kids around.
