Steve and Maggie

TV show · 2016

Steve and Maggie is a British live-action English-language learning series for toddlers and young children, pairing the enthusiastic human presenter Steve with his animated magpie friend Maggie for songs, slapstick adventures, and vocabulary games. This report covers the series as a whole across its full run of seasons and compiled releases. Content is almost entirely gentle and educational, with the one recurring note being a heavy dose of Halloween-themed episodes that include mildly spooky imagery.

Comfortably suits children ages 2 and up; the Halloween episodes may give very sensitive toddlers a moment's pause.
