I've been reading the other comments on here and I think I can help explain why there's such a disconnect between people who either love it or hate it.
It's taken me several days to find the words to describe why this show has made such an emotional impact on me.
My daughter actually found this show on her Netflix kids account and it came at such a perfect time in our lives.
The reason is because the show takes the most complex and difficult emotions, feelings and situations (such as racism, disability, death of a parent, loneliness) that as parents and adults we deal with every single day, while simultaneously showing how these same feelings and situations are being perceived and felt from the child's perspective.
My daughter kept saying she was surprised it was on the kids network. I've never seen a show so perfectly explain the view point of the adult and child and connect it together so that my daughter and I were able to understand both the mother and son so perfectly at the same time.
The show helped me understand myself in ways I've been struggling with so i could finally slow down, focus and actually listen to what my daughters has been trying to tell me for months.
This is why the show is either going to connect with you or it's not. I appreciated the fact that they chose to go with a sci-fi theme. Specifically superheroes, because without this fun child like component I don't think children would have related to this so perfectly.
I'm very grateful The show came out when I was needing it the most. It is very rare to find something that helps you understand yourself so deeply let alone from a TV series.
I highly recommend the show for everyone but especially for children and their parents.
