Did we miss something on diversity?

A Lot or a Little?
The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Danger & Eggs is a vibrant animated series about two best friends who have all kinds of over-the-top adventures together. The show's shtick is that while one character seeks out wild experiences and daredevil stunts, her best friend shoulders the task of keeping her -- and those around them -- safe as the fun plays out. The contrast is laugh-out-loud hilarious at times and engaging enough that parents will enjoy watching with their kids. Most of the characters' experiences are highly unlikely in the real world (they ride a decrepit waterslide that's slated for demolition, for instance), but they always channel the mixed emotions that accompany trying something new. The show celebrates diversity and differences and has some great teachable (but lightly handled) moments about acceptance and change.
Community Reviews
Impressive writing and animation, but not at all appropriate for anyone younger than a middle schooler.

What's the Story?
DANGER & EGGS is the story of unlikely best friends D.D. Danger (voiced by Aidy Bryant) -- a teal-haired adrenaline junkie who seeks out adventure -- and cautious, overly prepared, egg-shaped Phillip (Eric Knobel). When D.D. gets a notion to do something extraordinary, such as fashion a huge obstacle course in a public park, she's off and running, with Phillip a step behind, ready to help keep everyone safe.
Is It Any Good?
Kids will likely love this delightful buddy comedy and its polar-opposite main characters, whose vast personality discrepancies account for the majority of the laughs. Sure, there's plenty of fun in watching the absurd predicaments that D.D.'s impulsiveness gets them into, and the bold animation is a real asset to the show's appeal. But it's utterly hilarious to jump back and forth between fearless D.D. and Phillip of the inexhaustible safety precautions.
Another likable quality to Danger & Eggs is the characters' enthusiasm for living life to the fullest. Even with his inherent anxiety, Phillip doesn't shy away from any adventure that D.D. plans, and he usually winds up enjoying the experience, despite his initial uncertainty. The show really shines in its diverse representations, with characters of different ethnicities, genders, and sexualities treated with equal respect and acceptance. In Danger & Eggs, differences exist without clumsy explanation, which is a great way to help both adults and children see themselves represented on screen. Above all, the show is full of excitement and color and is a fun way to remind kids of the value of taking chances, making friends, and trying new things.
