Action Pack (2022) User Reviews

Near Copy Of PJ Masks

[jeremycrimsonfox · 6/10 · 5 January 2022]

Another education show involving superheroes, Action Pack revolves around Watts, Clay, Treena, and Wren, four kids with superpowers that attend the Action Academy, a school that trains future superheroes. Under the watchful eyes of their mentor, Mr. Ernesto, and his robot dog, Plunky, they protect the town of Hope Springs against villains while keeping with their mentor's motto: be smart, be safe, be superheroes.

As I said, this is another superhero-themed educational show in the vein of shows like PJ Masks and Spidey And His Amazing Friends. Each episode has the team of four taking on villains while learning valuable lessons , although like PJ Masks, it has one of the heroes making mistakes before realizing his or her mistake). Also, their transformations come from wearing hoodies, which is basically like how the PJ masks wear pajamas to transform. However, the series has interesting characters that are original, including villains like Dinah Rex and Cold Snap, and the lessons are good. Despite being a near copy of PJ Masks, this is a good series for young kids.

Kids seem to like it, as a parent it annoyed me

I find myself having to watch some of my kids shows when I'm relaxing with them. Action Pack is something they found somewhat entertaining.

However as an adult I can see why there are negative reviews. Oddly enough no one seems to find them helpful, weird. From my perspective as an adult I can see laziness from Netflix. There is nothing that makes this really different or better than existing shows. More specifically PJ Masks and Super Monsters are good shows that have the same plot as action pack. This is just a corporate mashing of two shows with different characters. There is no new imagination and thought. Its cookie cutter bases on the other shows.

I would have preferred that the original shows introduce new diverse characters. If you want to teach children about inclusion of different ethnic backgrounds and behaviors you can make a better move by adding. You can show behaviors about accepting new a different people the group.

When you just create a new show where everyone is different and there all friends from the start... so what. IMO this show was created quickly and with haste to fill a woke/diversity checkbox ... nothing about it is original.

this cartoon is great it has one of the best plots of all time i really enjoyed watching it.

Rip off on PJ Masks

[ijfbarker · 1/10 · 11 January 2022]

Practically the same as PJ Masks except they've tried to be noticeably more inclusive with cast. It is a shame the creators could not have come up with something a bit more original, the cast even have practically the same costumes as in PJ Masks! If this programme had been for a university assignment I'm pretty sure it would have failed for copying another programme.

SJW PJ Masks

[kaseymhawk · 1/10 · 12 January 2022]

The creators literally presented it as "PJ Masks, but inclusive. So we're going to specifically exclude white people unless they're villains".

Cheese sticks for the sake of making me feel like a bag of popcorn.

You can come over and watch me and my friend. Please understand that I don't have a lot of money.

Inclusive with Social Emotional Learning

[roxxyadrian · 10/10 · 13 January 2022]

I love this show for my children. There are not many shows like this. The characters are diverse so children will feel represented within the super-heroes. The show sends a very strong message about kindness and that it is ok and good to feel your emotions. This is such an important message for children--and adults too! What I like is that the show says common things that kids say or hear around them such as "that's weird" and then the superhero will comment with "that is unkind" , the reason behind it, and how one can be kind. In other words, the show explicitly tells the viewers what the kind thing to do is. After watching an episode you can spark a conversation with children about the issue it spoke on. This is a show I hope goes on to have lots of seasons so my kids can enjoy. I understand there is another show that other reviewers mention that it reminds them of. I do not let my kids watch that other show because I do not find much value in it. Action Pack, on the other hand, I find valuable.

Hope for the Future of Programming

[jillarious · 10/10 · 21 January 2022]

The super hero main characters always figure out why the antagonist is doing destructive things and they rehabilitate them in some form or another by redirecting their impulse or fulfilling the unmet need. It gives me big hope for the future of programming and doing away with the destructive good guy bad guy narratives.

I love the diversity & inclusion

[thomasanthony-11679 · 10/10 · 9 June 2022]

Great show that produces client engaging young kids with a diverse & inclusive mix of characters! Although similar to other children's shows, it does have a stark difference in balance and education! I can't wait for future seasons to come out & I'm not annoyed with the content or dialogue at all!

Pj mask but for more sensitive viewers

[lalockhartrn · 10/10 · 20 January 2024]

At first I thought another PJ mask which my 3 year old is not allowed to watch anymore because I felt it wasn't a good model for my child. Stay up all night and sneak out of the house. Not to mention no diversity in the main characters. Then the use of negative name calling ie bird brain. Then the antagonist I'll get you next time.

Action pack was refreshing. They always turn a negative into a positive in the antagonist and talk about why the negative behaviors are happening and what they can do to help. Also the main characters make mistakes and use those to teach lessons. Also there are 2 mini episodes which helps since the attention span of toddlers is short and if tv time is restricted this helps.

I know the characters look similar but there are only so many ways to do masked superhero. I hope this show continues to give more restrictived views more things to watch. My son love it.

Hero Elementary on Netflix

[donlamb-88944 · 8/10 · 22 January 2022]

My kid likes this show and that's all that matters, however this is essentially Hero Elementary from PBS Kids... just with better animation. It's not a bad show, just been done before.

A Show That Blew Me Away

[blytheandferb-10967 · 10/10 · 3 July 2022]

When it comes to preschool action shows, I think Action Pack is one that does it really well. There's a strong amount of continuity between episodes while still letting them tell their own stories. There's a good deal of diversity in the cast, whether hero or civilian. Every character is fun to watch. The morals are pretty good. The action is very fun and creative. I give this my full recommendation.

New Power Ups in Season 3

[ppaul-52436 · 10/10 · 29 August 2023]

We saw that Treena got her power up in Once in a Blue Noon, her new powers are the power to create vine cages, do a "Petal Copter", and speak to plants. And her plant powers are awesome.

Let's hope the other members of the Action Pack get their power ups too like Watts with his electric powers, Clay with his plasma powers and also wren who will change her animal forms if she wants like a roadrunner, spider, raccoon., fox and an anaconda.

We all got to rate this show by 100% to renew the show this fall 2023. We all love those kid heroes ultra much and perhaps new heroes will join the team very soon.
