The show, whilst not living up to Phineas and Ferb, is rather enjoyable. Still, the basic plot is not really drawing my attention, but it's the details and incredibly smart puns. I don't care about Gretel or Hamster all that much, because they aren't charismatic and don't have an interesting character development. Hamster overall seems like an attempt to recreate Ferb vibes, while Gretel is pretty average I guess. Though I have to admit, Kevin is my favourite. I can really root for him, because his character is so relatable and genuinly empathic.
I find it odd that Povenmire didn't continue his typical two-plot system, where there's two major events occuring simultaniously. For example Doof and Perry or Cavendish and Dakota. I think it adds a lot to the show and I love it when both plots come to influence each others events, as when Doof fails his plans and his Inator vanishes the boys' inventions. I miss that, I really do. Also there is lack of side characters, which for me is a plus point. Why? Well, I think they tried to make the show more focused towards Kevin and this should highlight his lack of friends. I like it, I'm kind of a loner myself and this was exactly me at some point.

This show is already one of my favourites. Kevin is my favourite. I love Kevin's cousin as well. The alien arc seems interesting. Can't wait for more of this show.
I find Hamster and Gretel to be quite an interesting show. The premise of a little girl and her hamster getting super-powers from an alien whilst their brother Kevin gets nothing except to drive them around in the family mini-van. Their adventures make up the show, but there is so much more there than a simple children's show.
The musical numbers are good in their own right. The music is played as if it is a serious song, but when you listen to the words you realize it is actually very witty. Plenty of references that will go over the heads of kids, but with meaning for adults. Nothing spicy, just modern references that are funny in their song usage.
The main character actors do a wonderful job. Both Hamster and Fred with their dry humor are hilarious. Gretel is caught up as a little girl with super-powers, but she still wants to do little kid things. Kevin has the usual challenges of a teenager trying to get a date, but at the same time watching out for his super-powered little sister. PThe characters and their struggles to be good or bad are played for the humor. Listen to the voices as there are many famous actors playing characters in different episodes.
I found it an enjoyable way to spend some time watching a show that does was done simply to entertain. Hopefully others find it as much fun as I did.

What do you get when you cross Phineas and Ferb, Adventure Time, Milo Murphy and Kid Cosmic? You get Hamster and Gretel! The series is amazing with an all star cast and outstanding songs.
A great new Disney adventure that is wholesome enough for the kids but also has subtle humor for us grownups. Congratulations to Povenmire and team. Loved the evil duo: in the spirit of Natasha and Boris!
