Bunsen Is a Beast (2017–2018)
7/10
Good, but could've been better.

This show is pretty good, but I do think it could've been a bit better. I do really like the two main characters, Bunsen and Mikey, as they are funny and always look out for each other. However there are some issues here.

The main villain is very cliche and she also doesn't really have a reason to be evil other than because she can. Also, while the voices do fit the characters, they get very loud and annoying at times. Some of the jokes are too random and ridiculous. Random does not equal funny. However, there are still good jokes here. The animation also isn't the best, but Flash/digital animation is the new standard at this point, so no point in complaining over it.

Those are the flaws, but here are some of the good things. A good thing about this show is that it doesn't have a lot of gross out humor like some other Nicktoons in the past. (eg. Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, Fanboy and Chum Chum) Like I stated above, I really like Bunsen and Mikey as characters. The plot is good, with the villain wanting to get rid of the titular character for being a beast and not a human, and I like that this show teaches kids a good lesson about including others, even if they are different.

I don't really understand why this show was canceled after only one season? I didn't watch this show until recent but it was pulling pretty good views when it first released.

What could've been better: get rid of the random and loud jokes, make the villain have a better reason for being evil, and polish the animation a bit.

Overall, 7/10, this show is pretty good, I think all the good outweighs the bad, and you should definitely give this show a shot.
