Little late on this one because I wanted to make sure the show had my undivided attention, but #babysittersclub is a DELIGHT
I'm only two episodes in, but it's already clear that the team behind the series really did it right. There's so much respect to the source material. I'm sure there are easter eggs I'm missing, but they managed to sneak in a nod to a Baby-Sitters Little Sister plot? WHAT
The casting is perfect. The costumes are spot on (Stacey McGill's New York-cool outfit in episode one). The set design is divine -- how cool is Claudia's cluttered art studio / desk!
These kids make mistakes. They mess up big time. They say things that really sting. But in the end they learn, inch-by-inch, how to make up for those mistakes. Even something as simple as saying "I'm sorry" to your friend has serious weight.
I can't wait to finish the series. This is the type of show a writer in kids' entertainment dreams of working on.
When I was at Netflix, this project was brought up in a Monday morning meeting.

"Looks like there's interest in reviving the Babysitter's Clu--"

I stood up. "Uh yeah. Greenlight. What's there to discuss? Next agenda item."

"Well, we know Brandon's opinion!"
(I think I said "Make Logan Bruno Vietnamese" but that was probably muttered under my breath)
