I'm rating this from the perspective as a 29 y/o woman, as well as giving it a fair review if I were to watch this as a child as well.

The show is about a child being confronted with various fears (the dark, hospitals, school, etc) and having supernatural buddies help him realize how its not so scary. The buddies are a hat and a cell phone. The cattish hat is able to talk him through the various ordeals while the phone analyzes the creature/problem itself.

They help this elementary aged child into confronting and defeating these fears one by one, teaching him that everything ... has a solution. And that often these fears are nothing to be afraid of once confronted.

You do have the weird supernatural creatures, but for the most part they are harmless. This is a kid's show afterall.

For me, this show was incredibly boring despite it only being 3 minutes an episode. I thought this series would end at 12eps initially but it lasted 39, so it is what it is. For an adult we've already faced all these fears and so its just a boring kid's show.

But that's it, its a KIDS SHOW. So it wasn't made for me. For a younger child within the ages of 2-7 I can see this being a fun short between cartoons every week. Its not scary, its colorful, and it teaches you how to confront a different fear the child may have every week.

For a child I definitely recommend this. For the rest of us, its just not made for us.

Its a solid 7 for any child. But I have to give it a 4. <3
