Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (1 ):

Kids into fashion, music, and performance will find this sitcom irresistible. The teen characters in Saturdays manage to feel both super cool but also incredibly wholesome and relatable. Saturdays also fills a gap in TV representation, since there have not been many kid-friendly sitcoms with an all-Black cast since the That's So Raven/Sister Sister/Smart Guy era of the 1990s and 2000s. While it does leave behind the laugh track and corny dialogue of that era, Saturdays does rely on some cliched sitcom tropes (like parents always talking about losing "pandemic pounds"). Kids and tweens won't mind; they'll be too busy wishing they could go skating with the teens at Saturdays.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
