Raising Dion (2019–2022)
7/10
Watch the whole season before judging!

Warning: Spoilers
Some reviews are ridiculous. People quit after one or two episodes and judge the entire show based on that.

Okay, that said, I thought this show was good, but not outstanding. There are a few things that are great about it and a few things that kinda bug me. Let's start with the good things. The show is really suitable for a big audience. Kids (above the age of 9), teenagers and adults will be able to enjoy it. This show has, without spoiling too much, an AMAZING plot twist in episode 8 which I had never seen coming. I really loved that. The story is exciting and original.

Now, there's a few things I didn't like that much. The acting could've been better. A few actors are good, others are not that great and that's kind of distracting. Another thing I didn't like is that the show starts off a little slow, so I get why some people are not intrigued to continue. The mom in this story is not a likeable person in my opinion. She takes some getting used to and there were a few moments when I sighed because she was being unreasonable and unkind. Luckily it all works out in the end and as you watch her character grows on you. Last thing I didn't like is how dark the set/lighting is most of the time, but this is really a personal preference. It bugs me when living rooms are really dark during broad daylight. Again, this is something I don't like but others might not mind this at all.

Overall this show might not be a must-see, but it's definitely worth watching! I enjoyed it and despite the negative things it was exciting enough to binge-watch, which says a lot because I usually don't really do that.
