Charlie and Lola is my favourite and my best.
Charlie and Lola is a charming, funny cartoon that any child will find relatable as they tackle small, everyday issues (that may be quite big to a kid) like trying new food (S1 E1: I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato), homesickness (S1 E15: I Love Going to Granny and Grandpa’s, It’s Just That...) or being honest (S1 E13: It Wasn’t Me!)
Growing up, I absolutely adored this series. Charlie and Lola reminded me a lot of my little sister and I (we even have the same age difference as them!) so a lot of the lessons that they taught resonated with me.
Charlie's level-headedness and practical, yet creative way of persuading his little sister to see things in a more fair manner always leads to fun sequences filled with child-like imagination and imagery. Lola's innocence, determination and sweet temprement is a great contrast, enough to make these two a fantastic double act to see on screen. They are both very believable characters with their speech and actions.
I absolutely love the art style, the scrapbook aesthetic reflects that of the original books by Lauren Child and gives a cozy, homemade feel, making the world so much more real.
This is one of those rare children's shows that come once in a generation, from a place of love. Rewatching it definitely tugged at my heartstrings as I remembered all the fun I had with my little sister growing up and playing so many games just like Charlie and Lola did. But it is definitely as good as I remembered it to be. Please share this cartoon with someone special, because it's an absolute treat to watch, whether you're a child or an adult.

Average kids show with terrible animation made to mimic terrible toddler drawings...
I honestly can't remember much about the show other than the ugly animation and the characters being obsessed with "pink milk". And I have watched it pretty recently because I bought a few of DVDS in the bargain bin at the Dollar General for my toddler because we don't have streaming or cable and I need a break from PBS Kids. It's boring and my 2 year old wasn't even interested.

Absolutely One Of The Best Shows Out There!
For starters, this show is charming in every way. You have two little British siblings who have endless adventures simply due to their beautiful and wild imagination. It’s quirky and sweet. The antics never seem out of touch with reality like 99% of children’s television. The stories center around Charlie helping Lola out with whatever it is she’s focused on for that episode. The jokes are legitimately funny and adorable. I’m 18 now and I still watch this show on my own, because I enjoy it... very much. I really love this show. This show is memorable, heartfelt, the characters are well written and relatable, the stories are interesting and it’s impossible to get bored of this show. 11/10. Yes, 11. Try this show. It will change your life forever.

Delightful and creative for all ages
Charlie and Lola is adorable and fun. My daughter is 7; We just discovered this show, and she loves it. She laughs so hard at Lola's antics. The show is creative, and the siblings treat each other with love and kindness. In fact, I like it when both of my kids watch so they see how kind Charlie and Lola are to one another. According to Lola, Charlie hangs the moon. She doesn't pester him, and he is always kind and loving toward her. The producers manage to convey this without making the characters campy or non believable. The content is always creative, believable, and humorous, with a cast of lovable characters. I highly recommend this quality program.

Wonderful sibling lessons
Love the interaction between the older brother Charlie and younger sister Lola. Great values of patience, friendship, and imagination. Very bright and playful shows where the brother helps the sister navigate everyday life issues... cat stuck in tree, busy best friend, not liking hair cuts, scarred of thunderstorms, etc. Enjoyed by both boys and girls. And the English accent adds charm.

Toddler through kindergarten; older kids won't be as interested
My 5 year old son loved this when he was 2-4, but he doesn't watch it much anymore. He hasn't dismissed it as too young for him, but I can see that coming soon. It's a really neat show in that these are kids with actual personalities who are fun to watch.
Because they use actual kids for the voices, they change actors every so often. To me the writing has diminished in quality from the first few seasons (yes, I'm seriously saying that), and I kind of identify the quality of the show with which voice actors are doing the work. "Oh, this is the first Charlie. It's pretty good."
The earliest seasons have the most charm and character to them. They're just very pleasant to watch.

Have to admit, I've watched it when my kid isn't home! It's that good.
I absolutely love this show. I recommend it to anyone who has more than one child, as theirs is a beautiful sibling relationship without being corny. It's creative, sweet, sincere, and makes my daughter laugh out loud. Plus, each episode is only 12 minutes long!
