My opinion about skyward pilot.

Very good story, especially for the imagination of the children !, a good pilot to be produce, either for a series or for a movie, very good photography, good direction, excellent performance of each of its protagonists. I greatly desire that the initiative to produce such stories for children be more frequent.For all the Staff, great job!

We need more shows like this that a 10 yr old can enjoy

There are so FEW TV shows for 10-year-olds that my grandson keeps watching the same half dozen over and over. We watched Skyward together and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was suspenseful and very and he could see himself doing what those kids were doing. I pre watched it then we watched together. Very entertaining, looking forward to a full series and soon.

Don't Waste Your Time

This is unpalatable for adults and kids alike. Production quality, editing, cinematography, acting... it's just all bad. What's worse is a black actor being referred to as a "sidekick". That's utterly heartbreaking in this day and age. Make it stop. No one vetted this, and it needs to end up in the waste bin of history.

Awful

This was so boring my kids started playing with other screens while it was running. The characters are absolutely predictable, borrowed from other shows...which wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so obvious. Special effects were laughable. Honestly, why bother? This show talks down to kids. This is 2017, not 1970. The acting was very poor. Sorry but this isn't going to command repeat viewing. It will come out of the gate slow and then die quickly.
