Sadie Hawthorne (Charlotte Arnold) is a nature-loving science geek near Toronto. She is trying to navigate high school and new loves with her best friends Margaret Browning-Levesque (Jasmine Richards) and Rain 'Rainbow' Papadakis (Michael D'Ascenzo). Her older brother Hal (Justin Bradley) is annoying. Her parents are well-meaning.
The first season has socially awkward Sadie use her expertise about the natural world to understand her human relationships. It has an earthy unique take on the high school kids show genre. It's lovely. It's charming. The kids are all nice. It has an indie innocence about the material. It's different from the other flashier Disney kids show. The second season and the half-third mostly minimizes the nature aspect to get more in line with every other Disney kids show. The kids remain nice but it does lose the uniqueness of the first season. They even put some makeup on Charlotte. The transition leaves the show a lesser version of itself and does not last for a full third season.
