Miles From Tomorrow is a neutral show for me. Miles seems like a cool boy to be around; his Blastboard looks fun to ride on, and the theme song brings a little bit of a Moves Like Jagger vibe (a Maroon 5 song, it was pretty popular in the early 2010s).
Merc is the cutest ostrich I've ever seen and I've even got a plushie of him; that grin, the big sparkly eyes, the beak... there's so much to describe about him.
I would've put 5 stars, but unfortunately, one particular character put me off of watching it.
That character being Loretta, Miles's older sister. As far as I've seen, most episodes portray her as a Petulant & disruptive girl, constantly blaming Miles and Merc for things they didn't do, and Loretta can be very intolerable at times (especially in Planet of the Plants where she whines about Miles not listening most of the episode) so that is 1 star dropped off.
And the worst part, Leo and Phoebe (the parents) don't discipline her, but instead Miles gets punished. This seems rather sexist and teaches children bad morals (that being "If you whine, throw tantrums and bully your younger siblings (and pets), you get what you want") so that's another star dropped off.
Most of my friends hate Loretta as much as I do. I've seen other shows like this (such as "Everything's Rosie", a British TV Show with one character being a horrid Loretta-esque football-savvy boy who whines and bullies people with impunity)
I think it would've been for the better not to turn it into Mission Force One either, as Miles and his friends look unrecognisable with cowlicks, pigtails etc. and Miles looks like a different character when dressed in red instead of his usual blue.
I do like the look of this show, though. Don't think I made it look like I hate this show - it's got a good concept. and I only ever wanted to watch it because of Merc, but I do think Loretta needs to grow up and act like her age rather than like a baby.
