Little Baby Bum: A Last & Awful Resort

I could write so much more about Little Baby Bum. It’s the strangest show and so remarkably unpleasant. And universally, babies love it.

Little Baby Bum is a whole assortment of kid media, but for now, we’ll stick to the Netflix shows. The shows are plotless, with a strange repeating cast of characters and a universe with ever changing rules. (Are buses sentient? Yes! Cars? No. Also, horrifically, sometimes poop is alive?!) Of course, the show isn’t made for adults. It’s not even really made for babies. Little Baby Bum is made for the impossible choice: would you rather hear your baby keep crying or slowly lose your mind listening to the worst songs ever? Sometimes, tragically, we choose the latter.

The show serves its purpose well. This winter our baby was under stimulated in our social isolation and winters weather and there were days when nothing else would work. But my lord, if you can pick anything else, I so strongly recommend that you do. 

I’ll be back to roast this sorry universe again, but for now, I’ll just gently urge you to avoid it at all costs.

The verdict:

Grown Up Stars: 0/5
Kid Stars: 5/5

Age recommendation: 0-18 months old, after that thankfully most children can enjoy literally any other program.
