Hunter street is an extremely great show with tons of clues and mysteries. Kids should definitely watch this show and will be amazed by how interesting it is. The journey just keeps going on and on. With incredible characters going on these adventures and searching for ways to solve the mysteries. Each season gets better and better. Hunter street should definitely be renewed for a season four.

What's the Story?

HUNTER STREET tells the story of the Hunter siblings -- Daniel (Thomas Jansen), Tess (MaeMae Renfrow), Max (Stony Blyden), Anika (Kyra Smith), and Sal (Daan Creyghton) -- who are on a quest to solve the disappearance of their foster parents. As clues unfold and lead them to surprising places in and around their Amsterdam home, the kids discover the surprising history of their family. At the same time, they must band together to keep their predicament a secret, especially from distant relatives with designs on the family inheritance.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (7):
Kids say (23):

This comic adventure series is mostly unremarkable, save for recurring family-centric themes that stand out in the characters' relationships with each other. They may not be biological siblings, but the Hunter kids (and their absentee parents) are no less a family because of it, presenting their version of a nontraditional unit in positive terms. On many occasions the kids' claim to their Hunter heritage is questioned by biological descendants of the name, and they're forced to assert themselves as "true Hunters" by loyalty.

With ghosts, family mysteries, and villains who are only mildly threatening, Hunter Street is a safe pick for kids who want a more "grown-up" series than cartoons offer. Many moments are funny, and those that are suspenseful rarely feel dangerous. On the whole, this unique family adventure is a pleasant choice for kids.
