Le Prince de Peoria

Excellent show for children and parents/guardians to watch together. Great messages. Time to get families back together.

Love the prince kid, very energetic, great acting and above all love that accent.

If this show were on Disney or Nickelodeon it would be a hit. In fact, it's written better than most I've seen (and I've got kids so I've seen a lot). But Netflix has poorly marketed this show partly because there's not a big enough gimmick or shocking statement about life or some kind of ... whatever. It's a subtly progressive show that's right up there with the best of kids programming.

Is it perfect, no. But the young actors are pretty good and it's well worth showing your 8-12 year old kids. If you can even find it.

It has a funny subject with all sorts of possibilities. The problem is, although the stories are generally about friendship, the acts of friendship always seem to only go one direction.

Prince Emil is self centered and Teddy is always expected to adjust his life and his plans to Emil's wants. Usually Teddy ends up apologizing, even though Emil rarely considers Teddy's wants or feelings.

That isn't how friendship works, and that isn't how they should be showing it to kids. There are so many situations where Emil should have thought about how his actions would affect Teddy. Instead he charges full speed into everything he wants and in the end people apologize to him.

It is all about the friendshipsn with lots of quirky side characters. An excellent family show.
