+1. I think Bluey is great for parents, but I can think of many shows that are better for children. Better in the sense that they teach children how to deal with challenges at their age and how to navigate the world around them.
Numberblocks goes hard in the later seasons, but sadly Netflix no longer has those.
I really enjoyed the adaptation of El Deafo on AppleTV. Its brilliant use of audio effects to explain the evolving technology of the little girl’s hearing aids had me in tears.
Colourblocks is another great one from the BBC. The two things I really like about CB and NB is that
1. they are designed to be part of a curriculum and so they build across episodes.
2. Every so often the songwriters decide to remind you that they are capable and not just ripping off old songs like other shows do.
I do like the Stillwater show, but I am still disappointed that they replaced the Zen and eastern stories from the books with more generic western tales.
