Bluey
This report covers the full run of the series across all three seasons. Bluey is a beautifully made Australian preschool show that follows a young blue heeler puppy, her little sister Bingo, and their wonderfully imperfect parents through imaginative everyday adventures; it is genuinely one of the warmest, most thoughtfully written children's series around.
A comfortable fit for children aged 2 and up, with the richer emotional episodes landing most meaningfully for ages 4 and up.
Episodes to know about
In 'Copycat,' Bluey and Bandit find an injured bird and take it to the vet; the bird does not survive, and Bluey processes the loss through imaginative play.
In 'The Show,' a balloon popping during the girls' play triggers a quiet, tender moment between the parents that the show's creator has confirmed alludes to a prior miscarriage; children will not register it, but parents who have experienced pregnancy loss may find it moving.
A balloon pops suddenly mid-episode; brief but unexpected.
