A very unorthodox suggestion, especially coming from someone like me, The Baby-Sitters Club. Yes, the guy who’s obsessed with Nazi war crimes and other extreme human behavior, and whose favorite film Literally helped coin the word “ultra-violence,” is recommending a show like that. After hearing that it got a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I was intrigued. Then, After binging the series, I found that this was a legitimately well-written show that not only managed to update the original pretty damn effectively, even fixing a lot of the glaring flaws in the original books, and even raising some social commentary in a way that feels organic with the show. It’s kinda strange to hear talk about Manzanar in a kids show, but they nailed it.
Indeed, one of the characters is heavily implied to be on the autism spectrum, and, if it helps sell Kit on the idea, there’s also a non-negligible number of gay characters. I suspect that at least some of the praise is colored by the fact that something so nice dropped in probably one of the shittiest points of recent history, but it’s still pretty good.
