Odd Squad

"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.

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.

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.

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.
