The short runtime and very good CGI along with a well worn story, helps this show tremendously. The kids are a bit on the extra side, really pushing the boundaries on what parents allow.
The action scenes are well done, the characters are well fleshed out except Vax, (maybe a season 2?)
As a father myself, I could understand where the titular character was going through and also sometimes mistakenly thinking that making money for your family will make up for the feelings of guilt not being around as much.
I would recommend this to parents and the family, a bit violent towards the latter part, but can be done away by looking at the message they're trying to convey.
Making time with your family, being honest with them and always means for than providing for them.

This show is great. Though the plot was predictable at times I still found each episode interesting to watch and binged the whole series with my daughter.
The show is about the kids stowing away and making their dads job harder.
Being a parent that works from home I thought this was a great representation of what it looks like when you try to work while your kids are around. I'll admit his kids did not listen but put kids that age in space and I'm sure it would look a lot like this if space actually did consist of cute little cartoon characters.
Im happy to see a POC piece that isn't about racism or being different because of something semi related to skin or something around that topic but not directly that topic.

Being an adult of considerable years... I thoroughly enjoyed this cartoon.
The animation is absolutely amazing at times. It looks and moves as good as a high budget movie, some of the space scenes are beautifully done. The flashbacks in a different style really add to the overall.
The voice work is all excellent and really makes the characters come alive.
The story is interesting and drives the show from point to point adequately.
The soundtrack is Outstanding.. some amazing tunes and their use is absolutely excellent.
Now.. the downsides. If I was being harsh, I could point out the predictable nature and the overused family dramas of kids not liking their dad or the kids being a bit brattish etc.
BUT I can forgive the few minor points as the rest of the show is so so good.
I really hope for second season where they can step away a little from the typical kid dramas etc and get further into the space exploration.
Highly recommended for kids that like adventurous sci-fi and recommended for adults alike.

This review is from an adult point of view.
The series looks promising. It has an interesting storyline which happens to include outer space. It's filed with spacecrafts, an AI sidekick, new technology, gadgets, aliens and robots. What's not to like?
Plus it's endowed with fantastic CGI, I was expecting this to be entertaining. But after the 3rd episode, I found the two kids incredibly Annoying, with a capital "A".
Putting aside the kids for the moment, this could be a great series. The CGI is first rate. The look & feel gives me the same vibe as "Lightyear". The quality of the CGI of this series will give Pixar a run for their money
The storyline is also interesting, and due to its setting, they (writers) can go nuts with the storyline. Exposing us to as far as the creators' imagination can go. Filling us with new worlds and characters to their hearts' content.
But those kids, were not likeable at all. They came across as stubborn, undisciplined, and lacking total respect for the father (i.e. They don't listen). And considering the daughter is supposed to be somewhat of a genius with street smarts, ends up acting extremely dumb in many ways. My only hope is, as the series progresses, they (kids) will become more likeable. But after 3 episodes, not looking good so far.
VERDICT: It's a good watch, just ignore the two brats..., err, I meant, kids. Younger audiences will love it.

The storyline is actually pretty good and entertaining. I put it on out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised. At first, I thought they were pushing it not allowing it to be just a movie. After completing the season, I now believe this would be a delight as a series. I love sci-fi and even though it's geared towards children, it really is a family show. The main characters JUST SO HAPPEN to be African American, but they don't make the show about that. That is refreshing to see!
The series is not slow paced and predictable as some kids shows are. I will say as a parent, these kids will annoy you a bit because THEY DONT LISTEN. But it's necessary to push the storyline forward. They grow on you as the season comes to an end though.
They aren't preachy so, you will have to explain that violence and misbehaving in real life have consequences. The things happening in the show are for entertainment purposes only! They don't sugar coat it because it's a kids show! Which makes it awesome sci-fi watching. I'd suggest it for kids 7 and up! When they fight, they FIGHT!
The graphics are movie quality. The storyline doesn't have any holes in it as far as season 1. There are no unanswered questions about anything. My only complaint is, I feel like the father doesn't react in a realistic way when the kids adamantly don't listen. Again, I think it's to push the storyline forward. If you watch bobs burgers he has very much so a "BOB" response! He never actually reprimands them for constantly undermining him, even though it puts them in serious danger. Other than that, I cannot wait for season 2. Netflix did a good job with this one!
