I loved the premise of this show and happily turned it on for my two boys - aged 4. Firstly- the delivery is so frenetic it makes a high octane Hollywood action movie look slow. There is a 2 minute scene of a lion bouncing around on screen making a series of weird and desperate noises which is enough to give one epilepsy, and I'm still not sure what it's doing in an episode about volcanos.
Most of the characters don't talk- they yell, and most of the time they seem insanely stressed out and so overcaffeinated they exude it from their eyeballs.
Every movement is a jolt, every expression and emotion taken to its extreme. The questions posed and answers given are lost in a quagmire of inane chat. Perhaps the point of this is to prime our children for the Internet age, where they have to sift through endless clickbait and distractions to get information.
If you are appealing to children, who biologically have shorter attention spans, why make a show 25 mins long when you could answer any questions posed (wrapped in a fun storyline) in 10 mins?
Just- no!
