Kristen Lopez IndieWire Manfredi and Hay aren't afraid to create a series that both praises the intelligence of children while also admitting that being a kid is weird and confusing. Rated: B+ Jul 1, 2021 Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety Within the growing set of shows about kids asked to save the world, "The Mysterious Benedict Society" stands out, and might itself save a rainy weekend for curious kids sometime this summer. Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian What could have offered children a chance to understand the historically unprecedented aspects of the internet age they live in, made the young fish conscious of the water they swim in, is left simply as a romp. Rated: 3/5 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Collin Garbarino WORLD Its refreshing to find a show promoting the values of honesty, friendship, and bravery in a package the whole family can enjoy. Rated: 5/5 Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Belen Edwards Mashable As Mr. Benedict, Hale infuses his trademark nervous energy with sincere care for the children, always sure to find the humor and heart in each scene. Jul 26, 2021 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Marvelous adult ensemble and cast of diverse talented children are a delight. First half of season is charming, with story of very smart kids, but adult problems get nasty. Rated: 7/10 Jul 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Vicenzo C Combining mystery with quirkiness, The Mysterious Benedict Society provides you with a delightful cast and brilliant thought-provokibg questions. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Nobu N Strange, quirky, unusual, and best of all good show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Ryan N A show that leans into its quirky and atmospheric spirit with surprising efficacy. The plot may not be particularly sophisticated, but that's not what this show is selling you. Underneath the simplistic nature of the "Emergency", there is something unnerving going on and its a treat to find out why. If you're looking for an easy show to watch with the kids that combines mild mystery, likable characters, and a subtle touch of unlikely friendship, then this is the show for you. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review ana luisa u el desarrollo de los protagonistas esta decente y me gusta elenco de niños son muy inteligentes y el misterio que aguarda y personajes secundarios decente es un 8.5 de 10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review DJ W Pretty good show, wasn't crazy for it tho. I enjoyed the books and the first season of the show was alright Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Maryam M I've read the books, I really enjoyed the TV series, it differs from the book at times but that made it even more unexpected and exciting. It's an amazing series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
