One top-rated review on IMDb states: "Got very excited when I saw this on Netflix... until I pressed play. Everything was just too over the top for me and the 'funny moments' just felt too forced and the plots were all over the place."
Although there are several positives reviews, other viewers are not so enamored, with one stating: "Word Party does teach some good lessons ("Let's not fight, it's not right!"), but the downside is an audio assault on your ears that will test your patience."
Among the positive reviews on CommonSenseMedia.org is one criticizing "the commercial tie-ins", stating: "We're Lalaloopsy will introduce your kids to a new batch of toys and games to catch their eye on store shelves."
Despite several reviews praising the Netflix series, others who watched King of the Apes were less than impressed, with one writing on IMDb: "This show looked and sounded like it was created by a couple of 10- year-olds who got their hands on some animation software.
The world's most intelligent dog and his human friend host a bizarre late-night TV show, which sees them travel to historically significant events to bring guests forward in time to feature on the show.
The solitary review on IMDb cautions parents should be vigilant for adult language, writing: "During one episode a tire flew over the characters head & the character clear as day said "what the f^*k?!" For a kid's series that's a little ridiculous."
The TV series received mixed reviews on IMDb, with one seemingly put off by the quality of the graphics, stating: "Children of all ages enjoy good animation but this is aimed at a very young and undiscerning audience."
Among the mainly negative reviews is one stating: "I may be biased towards the original characters to a large degree since I grew up with the show, but speaking from the point of view of a lifelong animation fan who watches kids shows on a regular basis, this is abysmal."
The reviews for this Netflix TV series are primarily negative, with feedback including: "A prime example of what's wrong with the kids today," and someone else commenting: "Hoping this show was produced as a joke."
Studies have shown that when kids are exposed to violence in the media, it can cause emotional distress, antisocial behavior and even long-term mental health issues. And on the flip side, when kids watch movies that are geared toward their age group, they can instill valuable lessons and help build character.

The company updates its weekly "Top 10 on Netflix" every Tuesday, based on hours viewed from Monday through Sunday the previous week for original and licensed titles. Netflix's rankings are broken down into top 10 charts for films in English, TV in English, films in non-English languages and TV in non-English languages.
A ranking of all-time most watched titles also lives on the site, detailing shows that have the most viewing hours in their first 28 days of release. Netflix also has these split into films in English, TV in English, films in non-English languages and TV in non-English languages -- but for our charts below, we don't differentiate between languages.
If a new season releases its episodes in two parts on different dates, Netflix counts the watch time of the first volume's episodes for their first 28 days, then it counts the watch time of the second volume's episodes for their first 28 days. These all-time rankings are also updated every Tuesday, whenever any programs make it into the charts during the week prior.
Shows and movies need sustained popularity in many countries to crack into the all-time most watched charts. That means you can see titles with "Top 10" badges in Netflix's app for days, but they still may not be generating enough hours of viewing to make the all-time rankings.
For example, the first half of You's fourth season came out Feb. 9. The show, a popular psychological thriller about a serial killer, generated 183.9 million hours of viewing since then. And each subsequent season of the show has grown in popularity. But because this season is being released in two parts and the second half of the fourth season won't be released March 9, the final tally for You's full viewership won't be clear until early April.
Meanwhile, teen mystery hit Outer Banks returned on Thursday with its third season and racked up 155 million watch hours in just four days. And true-crime limited series Murdaugh Murders and British horror-thriller film The Strays, both released Wednesday, have been building search interest on Google.
But TV shows need to eclipse half a billion hours to make it onto the all-time list, and films need more than 200 million. Even the most popular shows and movies need multiple weeks and enduring attention to accumulate enough.
The following are Netflix's most watched series, based on Netflix's own reporting of total hours viewed in the first 28 days of each title's release. Again, if a new season releases its episodes in two volumes on different dates, Netflix counts the watch time of the first volume's episodes for their first 28 days, then it counts the watch time of the second volume's episodes for their first 28 days.
Netflix appears to have never released a non-English-language film that generated enough viewing hours to make it into an overall top-watched ranking. But additional widely watched non-English language movies on Netflix have included:
Scrolling through Netflix and feeling overwhelmed by options? Look, you work hard. Let us make this easy. Whether you're seeking a new season to binge-watch, a new show to obsess over, or a bit of TV to soothe your mind after a long day, we've got you covered.

Seasons 1 and 2 saw Hilda adjusting to a move from the country to the city, making new friends and learning about the dangers of trolls.

Based on the best-selling, Pulitzer prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr, All the Light We Cannot See is a sweeping WWII epic. In Nazi-occupied France, Marie-Laure is a blind French teen who begins illegally broadcasting coded messages for the French Resistance over the radio. Her broadcasts catch the attention of Werner, a teenage radio operator in the German forces, but he chooses not to turn her in.
While the series occasionally struggles to live up to the depth and complexity of its source material, All the Light We Cannot See is still a tender and affecting watch, a coming-of-age tale nestled in a harrowing war story. Co-starring Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo, the mini-series also made great strides for blind and low-vision representation by casting legally blind actors in the role of Marie-Laure. Nell Sutton plays Marie-Laure as a child, while Aria Mia Loberti portrays the character in her teen years.
Black Mirror is back, baby! Season 6 of the eerie sci-fi anthology series premiered in 2023, a full four years after season 5, with bigger twists and even bigger stars. Josh Hartnett, Salma Hayek Pinault, Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, and Zazie Beetz all have a turn in the dystopian gauntlet, and not everyone emerges unscathed.
The Witcher is an exciting fantasy drama, full of magic, myth, and an ever-present sense of danger. The series really came into its own in Season 2, which explored its complex relationships with confidence. Season 3 is a fitting farewell to Cavill, who exited at the end of the season. But never fear, the series will continue in Season 4 with Liam Hemsworth in the titular role.
Season 4 sees its main characters in their final year of high school having to adjust to a new, crunchier reality: Their straight-laced school has been sold to an artsy education company, complete with sound baths, meditation, and an indoor slide.
This stylish and captivating drama is based on a remarkable true story. The Emergency Rescue Committee helped find safe passage for Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Marc Chagall, and countless other dissenters wanted for the audacity of their ideas. Created by Anna Winger (Unorthodox) and Daniel Hendler, and adapted from Julie Orringer's original historical novel The Flight Portfolio, Transatlantic is an affecting and scenic mini-series with a sensational international cast.
One of Netflix's biggest hits of 2023, The Diplomat is a gripping political thriller with a dysfunctional marriage at its core. Keri Russell is Kate Wyler, a career diplomat who is unexpectedly appointed as the new U.S. ambassador to England after a British warship is attacked. Her husband (a magnetic Rufus Sewell) is a former ambassador with a splashy track record and an inability to keep his fingers out of the political pie. With the stakes growing higher each episode, the Wylers attempt to maintain peace, both globally and in their marriage.
If you prefer the fictional to real-life serial killers, then maybe the ludicrously soapy stalker stylings of Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg aka Will Bettelheim aka Jonathan Moore are more your jam? Dragging the relationship thrillers of ye olde Lifetime Network into the modern age, this series, based on Caroline Kepnes's books, has seen our tender-eyed, gorgeous-coiffed bookshop owner with the penchant for most diabolical murder somehow live to kill another and yet another day.
