Skyward (2017)
Awful
This was so boring my kids started playing with other screens while it was running. The characters are absolutely predictable, borrowed from other shows...which wouldn't be bad if it wasn't so obvious. Special effects were laughable. Honestly, why bother? This show talks down to kids. This is 2017, not 1970. The acting was very poor. Sorry but this isn't going to command repeat viewing. It will come out of the gate slow and then die quickly.
Will vs. The Future (2017)
Funny and different
Wow! I honestly thought this was a very sophisticated show with some great twists built into the pilot. It is up at the kids level and likely to be something that brings the viewers back. It's funny too. The character interplay is excellent. The principal (Tom Wilson) is a driving force in the plot. McGinty and Furg are whacky, off the wall characters which make for something more than a rehashed 70s sci-fi plot.
A Kid Called Mayonnaise (2017)
Strange and not for kids
While I liked the color, LA suburb culture and photographic work, this is a bit strange for kids and way too slow. There's really not a lot going on which is why there is a lot of running in slow-mo. It's like watching paint dry. On the positive side, it kind of reminds me of the movie Paris Texas. Like the mom character, but the lead boy's character is just a little odd. Can't see it gaining a big following.
