My ratings for this show just continues to drop, huh? There are a few more episodes left in the season (Season 2 not confirmed) and I'm hoping that they can do something to change my mind about the show.
The concept of this show was a good idea, don't get me wrong. It has a somewhat similar setup to Wordgirl. However, the way that it was executed is to blame.
What kind of ruins it for me is that some of the things that happen in this show. The fact that they consistently re-cycle scenes is just lazy. Some of the problems they come across could've been handled better, or handled using COMMON SENSE. Also, I definitely think that the animation could look a bit better, but then again that might have to do with problems with the budget. (IDK I could be wrong)
Oh, and can we not forget how they don't have villains in this show? It sort of makes it more bland, and slow paced. The only thing that makes it exciting (even then it doesn't) is how someone could be "seconds till death" (more like doctor's office visit) and someone has to step up and save their friend.
On the plus side, compared to other shows on the network, this one remains PBS-Traditional and SHOWS in what way it's educational, unlike Pinkalicious, which has valid reasons to have bad ratings from being gender-exclusive, to not educational at all. Also, this show has a more diverse cast.
All in all, I have to give this show the most neutral rating possible, 3/5 stars. It isn't terrible, but then again there are things that they could do to make it better.

OLDER REVIEW:
Yay! First one to write a review!
I'd give this show a 4/5 rating.
The episodes are pretty good. They are enjoyable, and they can tech children a thing or two about science. The only thing that I'd call a sin in this show is the fact that they recycle old scenes. I can say the same about Xavier Riddle, Splash and Bubbles (OK they recycled the songs WAY too much...) and other shows.
