This movie does a great job in expressing the wish of Mr Rodgers and reaching children. In this specific portrayal of his life, he is reaching one writer specifically. This is not far off of who Fred Rodgers was. My problems come with the creative license taken. Mr Rodgers made his show to talk to children. He absolutely talked about war, divorce, death, and other taboos of the times. However, he would never have opened a picture board with a bloodied face! That is not how you communicate to children. Thats how you scar them. I also had a problem with Mr Rodgers showing up in make believe land. There was a very real reason he never was shown there. I feel this movie did do a good job of capturing the idea of Mr Rodgers but missed who he actually was.

I will be revisiting this review as the seasons progress. Season 1. It was honestly incredibly good! Until episode 6. All of a sudden every single character turned full idiot. It was so smartly written until that episode. The whole time the killer was obvious, but thats ok. It didn't take away from the show. What did take away was like in episode 8...heroine stabs killer just outside crowded party. Heroine then chooses to run across town to her home where there are no people. Let us not forget they were mere feet from a crowded bar... In the end I ultimately blame platforms like Netflix. I guarantee the producer, director, and writers had so many ideas for this season, but all these streaming services see is the bottom line, and we wind up with a great story that gets ruined for a dang dollar! Edit: the season 1 mid credit scene......lmao!!!

Edit: this series actually made me mad with how badly it ended. Not story, not acting. Writing, directing, and production. What a waste of a story that had so much potential! I get it, first of its kind from 🇹🇷. However, I am upset with Netflix. The producers, writers, and directors had to shove it all out the door. NETFLIX, knock it off already! Let the story end! Take your time and watch what happens to your almighty dollar!!! Netflix has got to stop staring at the bottom line. I get it. They are a business trying to make money, but they pull the plug too easy and too often. That leaves millions with product like this. Rushed to the point of making utter garbage. This show had so freaking much potential!
