Should They Watch It?

Kara - No

Laura - Yes

Pros

It teaches children about the things that people normally find disgusting.

Messages of working with nature, rather than against it, to solve problems with our bodies.

Lots of historical information about how society across the globe viewed and treated illness, ailments, and all things yucky.

Potential Issues

The female character isn’t as dynamic as the male characters, where she is set up to be more of a reactor.  There are also misogynistic jokes about her throughout the show.

Lots of grossness.  The ick factor is very high, so you will not enjoy this show if you are easily grossed-out.  It’s also very exaggerated grossness that might be too overwhelming/overstimulating for younger kids.

There’s a monster in one episode: a Fatberg, that could be scary for younger children.
