Alexa & Katie

This is a fantastic show for kids- better than Disney because the kids aren't disrespectful and rude to adults. It shows great friendships and the challenges of dealing with a disease. It is not realistic - it is not a documentary... but as a mom of a child who has significant health issues, I appreciated the way the girls deal with those challenges and found myself wishing the hospitals and doctors acted a bit more like the people on the show and tried to make awful stays more fun and interactive. It is a NICE show and they're aren't many of those around anymore. TV can take you out of your sad or depressing trials and this does exactly that.

Binged watched it via Netflix,in two days. Kept my attention,good storylines & characters. Worth checking out,if you haven't yet.

PROS:

-A really mature premise. The story focuses on Alexa. She has cancer, and we will be watching how this affects to this girl and her family.

-The emotional moments are golden. I found myself crying into half of the episodes of each season. It's simply amazing, and it really opens a conversation.

-It's entertaining and short. Every episode it feels like the plot is moving forward. I mean, every season take place a year on the girls lives.

CONS:

-Sitcom laughs that makes you feel like the show is forcing you to laugh to jokes that aren't that funny. It's essentially a Disney show with a mature thematic.

-May not appeal to boys.

-Some jokes aren't really funny and sometimes it's very corny.

News flash people..this is not a reality show!! Maybe it's not entirely accurate but that would be depressing and somewhat scary not a cute sitcom for young people which it is!

Alexa and Katie is perfectly enjoyable for all ages.

A bit too melodramatic but I don't really care.

The characters are perfect, Alexa's older brother is incredible, I love him.

Netflix gave us a great show here.
