Hilda (Netflix) - 4/5

On the surface it seems like this is just your average kids show, what with the colorful animation and child protagonists. But the story is much more nuanced than others of its kind. Why doesn’t she go to her mom first when this or that happens, but tries to deal with it herself, as per the trope? That issue is addressed directly in conversation later, something I’ve rarely seen a show do. Of course some of the scenarios wrap up a little too neatly and two episodes in particular treat massive property damage like fun adventurous hijinks with no consequences for those involved, but on the whole this is a great show with positive messages for the whole family.

It’s like a cross between Adventure Time and Steven Universe, but with more nuance.
