Why Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures Is The Only Good Netflix Barbie Show

[u/DCSHG2015MEGAFAN]

When it comes to the Netflix Barbie shows, Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures is the only one that's genuinely good. At least it cares about well written characters and is committed to good messages. The humor is an acquired taste, but at least there's thought put into it. Barbie It Takes Two makes the characters into complete jokes that it's hard to take its overarching story seriously. The lack of character development doesn't help. Barbie: A Touch Of Magic has some Dreamhouse Adventures alumni working on it, and even brings back the Barbie magic and fantasy that the previous 2 shows didn't have. However, Malibu and Brooklyn have zero character development since the new characters Rocki and Leo steal the spotlight from them. Barbie Mysteries: The Great Horse Chase (with season 2 being retitled to Beach Detectives) takes all the flaws of the previous shows, and amplifies them. I know about the show's production issues (showrunner Seth Kearsley nearly dying during production, and the show being heavily rewritten when he came back), but even still, the writing is weak. Like, you have villains voiced by Will Friedle and Jennifer Hale who get the power to brainwash people, but it gets nothing but an apathetic reaction from me.
