What's the Story?
DRAWN IN spotlights comic book-loving, problem-solving friends Jayden, Tyler, Grace, and Naveah. The squad often spends time in Lady M's Imaginarium, a comic shop owned by their wise and helpful mentor. Familiar storylines from the friends' favorite comics seem to come to life in their small town of Midland City. They must use their problem-solving skills, literary knowledge, and teamwork to save the day. Each episode features "Lady M's Magnificent Words," which serve as learning opportunities for the kids. From ghosts and robots to Greek Gods and everything in between, the friends never know which comic book character will appear next.
Is It Any Good?
This show is a fun, unique, unusual watch for young viewers. Drawn In embeds literacy curriculum and will be appealing for viewers who enjoy comic books. The show's dedication to diverse representation is outstanding. Each show has a short runtime and is packed with action, storylines, and characters, potentially leading to some confusion for young audiences. The show sometimes struggles to hit home curriculum points throughout the characters' dialogue.
