🐎 Julia Glassman, writing at The Mary Sue (with major #spoilers for the newest batch of episodes):

What makes this show so great is that it isn’t afraid to employ writing that’s savvy enough for adults to enjoy. Bluey navigates real conflicts, while her parents—the delightfully flawed Bandit and Chilli—work through believable, thoughtful issues of their own. This isn’t your average children’s show.

And now, with ten new episodes having dropped on Disney+ earlier this summer (they came out in Australia a whole year ago), the show is getting positively meta.

I dare even people without kids to watch a few random episodes of Bluey without learning something they wish they learned decades ago.
