Talking Tom & Friends

I know how it looks, it's an animated show about talking cats and dogs made for kids. The production value isn't that high, and the animation is just middle of the road. You probably passed by it on the netflix kids app and maybe you've even heard of the incredibly annoying children's app that spawned the whole series. This show should be awful. It should be just a mindless time waster meant to distract kids for a few minutes at a time, at least that's what I thought when my 5 year old niece made me put it on while I was babysitting. Here's the thing, I really, really like this show. I felt actual disappointment when I had to leave after I was done babysitting because I just wanted to keep watching. The writing is funny and sharp, there are tons of references, it's not afraid to make fun of itself and the characters are all so damn lovable. It's a good show. It's like the writers sat down and realized that adults would have to watch this with their kids and decided to serve both audiences, what a crazy idea, right? Seriously though, this show has no business being as good as it is, but for some reason or another, it actually is good. Next time you're babysitting, or trying to find something kid friendly to watch that won't make you want to pull out your hair, give this show a shot.

I used to love watching this show when I was younger, but when I rewatched it I realized it wasn't that good.

Honestly season 1 to 3 were just peak : except for the lack of secondary characters and some cringe scenes everything was perfect with interesting storylines and good seasons finales.

But from season 4 everything changed with the mains characters starting wearing clothes from nowhere. From here, most of the episodes were very bad, most of them were about the CEO (a pretty boring character) or about unrealistic events (for example a giant corn who almost destroyed everything), making the show quickly tedious.

So if you are planning to watch the show I only recommend you to watch seasons 1 to 3.

...and their not so happy effects. This is the essence of this pleasant cartoon, full of technology, great ideas and disasters , seductive for a form of innocence and fair portrait of friendship, lovely for the resurrection of memories about childhood experiments. Very short episodes and smart way to seduce kids and ...adults.

I found this show on Netflix one day and remembered seeing the Talking Tom game in the app store. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Each episode has a different, unique plot so it never gets boring. However, the episodes do have some level of continuity. The plot is pretty interesting for a kids cartoon. The basic concept is also fairly interesting-Tom and Ben, who have extremely different personalities, own a tech company, which they run from the garage they live in. Along with them is Hank, who is mostly there for comedic purposes and moral support, Ginger, a troublesome 7-year old who hangs out at the garage, and Angela, an aspiring singer and Tom's love interest. This unique cast of characters really work well together. I won't get too much into the characters and plot, because that would contain "spoilers". However, there isn't much to spoil. It's a very easy to watch, binge-able show (each episode is only around 11 minutes) and I really appreciate the work that goes into making the series. If you go into how based in reality the show is or how the show could've been better, it wouldn't be Talking Tom and Friends. But enough said, if you have young children (or a couple hours to spare), give it a try. Hope this helped.

The older episodes feel more like a sitcom, with the transitions, the cutaways, and the subplots included in between. But I still like the show, even with the changes.
