Raising Dion

First season was really enjoyable, adorable and enticing. We were subsequently excited for season 2 but we found it lost its X factor. Not sure why but the acting doesn't seem as natural and the story line feels too predictable.

I accidently stumbled onto this show last week and binged the two seasons. The first one was a pleasant surprise. A simple, but fun show to watch with likable characters and an decent plot with a few fun twists.

The second season however was a huge disappointment. Apart from all the gigantic plot holes, the story went downhill fast and the last three episodes turned into a weird copy of an eighties A-Team zombie flick, or something. With a new problem every twenty minutes being resolved in the twenty minutes following. The "end fight" was completely ridiculous, a five year old wouldn't buy that.

With all that and the fact that the plot just repeats itself, characters that develop a new power every ten minutes, (how convenient) and the diversity obsession of the writers, or the casting agency, I more or less have given up on this show.

Season three, if it happens, will have to do al lot better than this.

Amazing, Beautiful and Genius. Originality with deep routes of cultural, social, economical and sheer human obstacle. Adulting is never easy, nor is childhood this comes together with great integrity. Visually flawless, with decent tempo, structure and story arc fulfillment. We could knit pick at the little things, but why bother when you can sit back and enjoy. Waiting for Netflix to approve season 2 of this binge worthy delight.

A story about a young boy with unusual abilities & the struggles the mother has. Seems like an interesting plot and it is. But!!! The kid is a spoilt brat whi is basically undisciplined and uncontrollable. The mother is an emotional timebomb continually having meltdowns everytime she cant get her own way. Her best friend is a childlike moron woth OCD. And the young boys isdues seem to be a sideline to the mothers problems. Great plot, but more like a soapie! If you dont like annoying characters, then tune out.

Ok I have given this a 10 because I'm reviewing it from a different perspective.

It also has done something very unique and special. Please let me explain. No other series has allowed me to watch a TV show with my children which we are all able to enjoy. My children are so invested and intrigued by what will happen next. To experience a TV show with them is magical. They are full of anticpation, theories and we discuss it at meal times.

To see Thier faces light up when we decide to watch the next episode is really something special.

I wish more TV shows would do this. Normally they watch thier cartoons a d then we watch our shows. But now we are enjoying it together.

For this reason I'm giving it a 10, no other show has done this before and therefore a 10 is well deserved. Thank you.
