My Babysitter's a Vampire Review - Entertaining and thrilling
26 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is an awesome and hilarious show. It has great characters; they have great personalities and I would love to watch episodes based entirely on each character - it would still be just as engaging. But, I really dislike the inappropriate material and jokes of this show, considering it was aired on the Disney Channel. Perverted content is not needed to make a show entertaining, but that is unfortunately what most of the world wants. Aside from that, the story has so much potential and makes great use of each character's abilities and the story plot. It is a refreshing combination of the interactions between vampires and humans, and applies this classic myth in a modern and fun sense. The show never gets boring, and each episode has something new and great to offer. I really like the second season more than the first one, in which Sarah's personality was quite shallow. In the second season, there is a lot more team work, friendship, and maturity (for e.g., Benny stops objectifying women, for the most part). There is ironically some subtle (or overt) sexism in this show, despite it being based on a powerful female character. The show makes Sarah a strong female character, but then has jokes that basically say that females should "not" be this way, that they should not be strong and powerful. Very disappointing element. If they removed that and all the intense and over-hyped, typical sitcom high-school stereotypes (jock, nerd, etcetra) the show could exercise even greater potential. They should definitely make a Season 3.

P.S. I am shocked that this was aimed at children 12 and under. With some of the content in this series, it is startling that parents let little kids watch this. *8/10*
