Had to babysit with my friends kiddo for a while and during bed-time this show came to rescue.
Kid really dig it (only problem that he didn't want to sleep, but star detective agency instead! XD) and it was pleasing to watch even for an adult.
So much nice to watch, that I've finished whole season by myself in few following days, when I was going to bed myself.

My girls (8 and 10) and I love watching this quirky, clever kid detective show. Lots of humor as well as some good life lessons in the writing. The camera work is on point for the style too.
Ignore the obviously ignorant comment about the bad British accents. They're Australian. 😂

This tv show is great if you want a kid-friendly "law and order" show. The cases are relevant to a normal kid's life (exaggerated slightly for TV's sake, of course) and have a solution that makes sense, unlike other law and order where the motive is some over exaggerated reason. I do think a few of the cases lack a tiny bit of creativity, and sometimes the humour can be a little dry.

We all love this, the kids have watched the series twice. We want more!! Good wholesome comedy family watch. You have to accept it for what it is, caricatures and moralistic, but very watchable and enjoyable.
Another reviewer mentioned bad British accents but I don't understand this as it is set in Australia with Australian accents!

I love how the stories are narated. The characters are funny and cute. I can easily enjoy the show with my 5 and 9 years old kids. Wish they make more episodes.
This show is definitely worth the binge and a must watch!! It's better than all of the modern Disney sitcoms because it lacks the things that annoy most viewers: artificial laugh tracks!! The characters are so lovable and funny. Real jokes and investigative mysteries for the characters to solve are a clever replacement for the canned laugh tracks that ruin a good sitcom in today's society!!

Great series for kids, no profanity, no unnecessary innuendo or language like way too many kids shows, my 7 year old daughter loves it, we really hope they make more episodes!!!

My kind of show! Teaches my kids critical thinking skills. We pause the show before the end and ask them kids to solve each mystery. I love the quirky humor. And the show has heart.

My 7 and 8 year old love this show! And it's good enough that I enjoy watching as well. The same people who did Little Lunch (another one of our favorite shows) created this. Family friendly and funny.
Cases are fun and interesting, a bit dry for kids perspective. It would have been better if the story wasn't focused all on just Maudie while the the other kids have no contribution to investigation. If every character had their own strengths in their particular fields the show would not be so predictable. Maudie becomes annoying as a little Miss know it all.
My daughter is a 3rd grader and can't get enough of it. Good thing, because it is very clever, well done and even gives us adults a giggle. All the kids are great, esp Kyle, who steals the show. Terrific all around.

How is stuff like this still being made in the modern world?
The girls of the The Inbestigators are all intelligent, virtuous, thoughtful, caring white girls.
The angry, pompous, uptight, OCD boy is Asian. Who also happens to have a highly stereotyped dumb granny who speaks only in 1970's comedy chinglish, "aw, me so solly"
The dumb as a box of rocks, always in the way, comedy foil, always there to look stupid and have things explained to him by the white girls, is indigenous.
Whoever casted this show is a disgrace.

My kids, ages 8,8, and 12, love this show. It's fun and funny. They've gotten the neighborhood kids hooked on it too. There's nothing to worry about, nothing too grown up or questionable, nothing scary either. It's just a cute show.

Great show! I love to watch it with my kids and actually have a good time! I love the way the format of the show, the comedy, the kids... I actually find myself trying to figure out the 'culprit'.
And to answer another reviews that said that the fake British accents sucked, um.... the show and the actors are from Australia, so yeah, totally different accent not trying to sound British...

Growing up and living in Australia until I was 24 years old made me really appreciate this show. I married my American husband in 2004 and we now live in the US. We have a sweet 7 year old son. In flicking through different Netflix shows to watch, he found this series. I was happy to see that it was an Australian series and told him that's what primary school was like for mummy! I love the good acting, the good morals and the clean humor in this show! It truly is fun to watch along with my son! He loves it and can't wait till the next episode. I'm sad that only one season was made. I hope that the producers make more!
He loves trying to figure out the mysteries before the kids. But Maudie is extremely clever! So, he admits it can be tricky. Great show for kids.

I was looking for a family friendly show to watch with my daughter. She has been watching it nearly non-stop and has watched each episode at least 5 times. This is the kind if show with 'real life' situations that really appeals to children. I'd like to see this type if show be made more often. Reviewers saying this Bad English? These reviewers haven't a clue about Australian accents. Miserable people just need to go away.

My daughter loves this programme its got some fab story lines and it's great for them no bad language and feel good stories about team work.
Only thing it is gives me a huge headache the background noises drive me mad so I have to let her watch it very quietly.

This is what kids tv should look like, no sexual innuendos, no bad language! Nothing that kids don't need to know at this young age, maybe Disney and Hollywood could learn a lot from this cute Australian show!!! Highly recommend to kids of all ages, my daughter has watched every episode multiple times!

Its a good fun little show and its always a different twist at the end and its fun to figure out the cases with the kids. Its a great show for kids 5-10.
Great show for kids and entertaining for parents. We love the characters and the overall story of the show. Each episode is clever, funny, and a joy to watch

I watch this with my kids. They love how all of the friends bring different views and personalities to the characters. They especially love the comedy of Kyle. I like how they are allowed to have flaws but apologize and forgive each person. The adults aren't idiots in it as well, just a bit goofy.
