Watched this on my own up to about season 2, sure it has its quirks and people do stupid things at times but I actually quite enjoy the puzzle-like issue resolution process of the show.

Often using flashbacks of earlier lessons in life and then applying to what's happening in the present day, often in a sort of abstract way.

Anyway, new season dropped and I didn't want to wait so watched it with my step son (5yo) present and he started asking all sorts of questions, I'd explain what was happening and who the characters were, the risks and dangers, the science stuff etc etc and he just couldn't get enough - now he watches it when he goes to his dads, his grandparents, and he parrots all my explanations back to them, it's turned him into a right little science whizz, his intrigue has led us to visiting the National Space Centre and opened him up to watching all sorts of other sci-fi, reading space books, encyclopaedias, he's like a sponge for anything sciency.

So is the show the best? No.

But where it has absolutely EXCELLED is teaching an inquisitive 5yo about sci-fi, science concepts, family, emotions, empathy, the concept of flashbacks as a story telling medium, how good actions don't always mean good intentions, and so much more.

For a kids entry to science fiction/fantasy? It's an 11/10.
