Goodness me, this show is bad, especially the script. Doesn't surprise me that a previous review mentioned this was written by a middle aged man with no experience of modern kids and it especially doesn't surprise me to learn this dude is usually just a script editor. You can just tell. I'm so sorry to everyone else who had to be involved with this mess. I understand times are hard but this was unnecessary and more than likely will disappear and be forgotten about.

No no no Nova (please).

I could tell straight away this show was largely written by at least one middle aged man. They're not usually ideal for writing shows aimed mostly at young girls, unless they're either very talented or at least have children, preferably the ages of those the show is aimed at. I obviously don't know the personal circumstances of all the writing team, but I see Andrew Ellard's main job is a script editor, a job which he clearly rates himself very highly at, if his online reviews of his own script editing work are anything to go by.
Sadly, script editors, whilst competent enough to write bits and pieces, rarely have the creative brain wiring and artistry of a writer. Their brains are simply wired differently and there's no shame in that, just means they are better equipped for technical roles, rather than creative. Once they reach middle age and haven't managed to break into actual writing yet and are trying children's tv as an in, it's probably best to gently steer them back to their usual field, or this sort of garbage is vomited onto our screens.
Sorry to be harsh, but this was terrible all round, especially the writing. Sadly it probably hasn't done wonders for the young actors involved either and to be completely fair to them, it's probably hard to perform miracles with such a lackluster script.
My kids, at least one of which is definitely of the target audience, both hated it and one even rated it "Worse than Cocomelon" which is highly unpopular in our household.
Please don't make another series. Ever.

Its existence is painful

I know its a show for young children but it unfortunately came into my presence. It was just a background show, but even as a background sound it brought my ears physical pain. I love when kids shows are wacky and dumb for the sake of comedy, this show however needs fire, and lots of it. Burn it, burn it all and lets never speak of it again.
Garbage

It's almost offensive that this even went to production. It should definitely have been left on the desk it landed on, or better still, nudged into the trash pile. It's embarrassingly bad. I guess that's why it only made it to digital, but still. What a waste of money and resources that could've gone towards something worthwhile.
There's just no redeeming qualities to it at all, it's simply a bad and very basic attempt at creative writing that should never have been commissioned. Primary school aged children can write better than this and must feel quite insulted to have this thrown at them and be expected to engage.

Fresh new comedy/drama for kids.

Me and my 8 year old daughter have absolutely loved watching the series and are excited to hear that there are more on the way.
It's such a fun and inventive world and it's so cleverly written.
I can recognise some brilliant nods to other iconic sci-fi series, while my daughter just loves it all as she finds it, without knowing some of the inspiration behind those elements.
The team have obviously uncovered a wonderful star in Molly and the rest of the talented cast.
The musical elements also really elevate this from just another kids sitcom, the care and production values are extraordinary. It more than holds its own against the sort of US teen shows from bigger streamers.
Can't wait for more!
