Graeme Tuckett Stuff.co.nz The Inbestigators is smart, genuinely funny and written in a way that feels perfectly attuned to pre-teens. Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Mandie Caroll Common Sense Media Kid detectives solve mysteries in charming Aussie comedy. Rated: 4/5 Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The InBESTigators is a great show to watch with your kids so you can help them figure out the mysteries the show presents. But it's also funny enough to make you want to actually pay attention, as well. Aug 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Random R Found this season (and this show) Faboluas very exciting. In short-sized packest and episodes, it provides and interesting view into a bunch of kids running an investigation agency. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Benjamin L The show is WAY smarter than you would think, though a bit corny Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/23 Full Review Hannah C Urm, how have none of the reviewers noticed the blatant and harmful racial stereotypes. A sporty black kid who is painfully stupid. A physically challenged math whiz Asian boy. A well spoken, clever girl who solves everything. Then another, more "ethnic" girl who doesn't have an overt role. If they had not played to these stereotypes and mixed it up a bit it would have been a perfect children's show. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review REkz k My USA kids, 5 & 9, have both rewatched this show many times. The characters are complex and dimensional, and the Aussie accents are charming. I've heard Season 1 & 2 enough times now that I know who did the "crime" in the first 5 minutes. I'm amazed that my children will happily rewatch the entire season. The writing is pleasant, the editing is slick, and the show of the tone is respectful of all the characters AND the viewer. I really appreciate that they pause the show to talk directly to the viewers -- it gives younger viewers a chance to interpret perspectives. Also, young Aussie kids are pleasantly literate and upbeat -- contrasting this with the media bombarding my children, this content is wholesome and intelligent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/22 Full Review Robbie M "The Inbestigators" is harmless and fun in its Scooby Doo-like elements, but is ultimately too corny and wholesome to entertain someone over 12 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/21 Full Review Audience Member Well written and clever. The characters are fun to watch as they solved cases together. my family loves to watch and it's my daughter's favorite show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
