A classic Japanese reality series (original title Hajimete no otsukai) following toddlers going on their first errand alone, Netflix has subbed 10 new episodes for us and they're all as cute as ever. They even do some follow up on the older episodes finding the young toddlers as now young adults which was fun to see. However they released this in early January, I would have much preferred a mid December release as would have loved to watch this with my family over the winter holidays. Missed opportunity but still a great show, would highly recommend. In the need for some significant eye bleach this week, Old Enough! Arrived at the absolutely perfect time. A Japanese reality show which has aired since the 90s, Old Enough has subbed a number of episodes to English for Netflix. Each short 10 minute episode tasks a toddler with a really important errand, one they are arguably much too young for, and then follow them with cameras to see what they do. Seeing a 3 year old attempt to walk a km away to bring orange juice to his grandpa, muttering to himself the whole way, just makes the most adorable and heartwarming television. Massive crews protect and watch the kids at all times (besides Japan being an incredibly safe country) so you never really worry about the kids, its just a simple concept to laugh as children stumble, but more often than not succeed, in the world of adults. I would highly recommend this show, peak reality television.
