I watched this briefly, and then I went back and watched this after watching the story explanations on You-Tube. OMG!
So many details! So much explanation and so much attention to characters and timelines! If regular scripted shows were this in depth we'd not need so many news shows, right?
I let my younger wards (neighbors kids) watch this. They deal with death and change surprisingly well. It's shadowed, and traumatic and scary. In a shadowy, unknown way that it is as an adult explaining it to a child.
They handle relationships between friends and family and peers in a way that is so relevant to teens that I couldn't have written this better myself. It's appealing to all types of relationships. Serious, same-sex, those that don't have great relationships and those that have friends that are family.
I have watched this show through about 5 times now. It's simplistic in the way it seems to animate and show off Finn and Jake and their interactions with others. It seems straightforward. It's just not. Finn and Jake have a very complicated relationship that is unraveled and wrapped back around as two step siblings that can't seem to make heads or tails of anything, but that seem to be able to find stability in each other and in their daily routines. Finding each other and about their own place in the world is just a step along the way.
