What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this series is a safe choice for adventure-seeking kids and tweens, since it plays up intrigue and suspense and minimizes the scary aspects that typically accompany that type of storyline. The show’s comic feel takes the edge off potentially upsetting scenarios like abduction and threats made to a teen’s life. It’s clear that the show doesn’t set out to push positive messages, but there are some feel-good ones mixed into its presentation of friendships and family relationships.
What's the story?
Connor Heath (Max Morrow) has always wanted to be a spy, but he never guessed the job would literally land in his lap one day. Enter Gisela Calicos (Lola Tash), the teenage daughter of a foreign president, who’s sent to the Heath home to escape dangers in her home country. As Gisela attempts to blend into the teen scene to protect her identity, Connor’s spy senses kick in, and his suspicions prove correct when those closest to her show questionable motives. With everyone’s loyalty uncertain, Connor and Gisela must find a way to work together to keep her safe, and to solve the mystery surrounding her pursuers.
Is it any good?
CONNOR UNDERCOVER is a fun, light-hearted series that’s well suited for kids and tweens. There’s enough adventure and uncertainty to keep the stories interesting, and its use of comedy offsets any potentially concerning topics like abduction. Tweens will be amused watching Gisela’s often half-hearted attempts to assimilate into common life after being the pampered daughter of royalty, and it sends good messages to them that her journey has lessons both for her and for Connor.
With virtually no iffy content to speak of and a positive portrayal of a strong family at its heart, this Canadian series is a worry-free choice for tweens.
