Best Underrated Shows

Saving Me

Saving Me is about a lonely old guy who invents a time machine so he can go back to his child self and fix all his past mistakes. I learned about this show from this video titled Watch THIS instead of Hailey's On It by M!n!mal M!ss Art. Despite this video, I was still very excited to watch Hailey's On It. It seemed like a story with a cool premise and cute art style (and ultimately I do really like the show) But Hailey's On It wasn't gonna be out for weeks when I came across this video and this video really sold me on giving Saving Me a try. I never would have even heard of this show without that youtube video which would have been a real shame because Saving Me is fantastic! I hope this show reaches more people and I'm dying for a season 3!!!!!

House of Anubis

Mystery is my favorite genre and House of Anubis is chuck full of it. I used to be obsessed with this show back in high school. I had so much fun coming up with theories and live-blogging my thoughts and opinions about each new episode. Some of the acting & dialogue could be a little cringe sometimes but the story is just so good that it doesn't matter. I've heard that Het Huis Anubis (the Dutch version of the show that House of Anubis is based on) is even better, though I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.

Over the Garden Wall

Those of us who have seen Over the Garden Wall seem to agree that this show is amazing! Which makes it feel a little weird to call it underrated. But it seems like so few people have actually seen it. Maybe because it was a mini series, it couldn't reach the same level of popularity as other shows of similar quality. If you like Gravity Falls, you'll likely enjoy Over the Garden Wall as well. (Wirt is even voiced by the same guy who voiced Dipper!) I would highly recommend anyone that hasn't seen it already.

Dead End: Paranormal Park

I feel like it's pretty rare for animated series to exist in the horror genre for some reason. It truly is an untapped market. But if you love horror and animation, Dead End is the show for you! (Of course it's kid friendly horror since the target audience is children) The two main characters, Barney and Norma get jobs at a haunted park and work together to fight ghosts and demons. Dead End has a super cute animation style, in my opinion, and a very diverse set of characters. I encourage everyone to watch it!

Just Add Magic

Just Add Magic is based on a children's book by the same name. It's a show about three girls who love to cook and basically discover that they can use cooking to do magic. It's a pretty interesting take on how magic works in their universe. It's very fun to watch. All of the actors are also so talented! And one of those actors is Zach Callison (the voice of Steven Universe)!

The friendship between the trio is awe-inspiring! They have so much chemistry. It's a pretty fun watch.

The Last Kids On Earth

Based on a comic of the same name, this show is about a group of kids who have to survive on their own when a zombie apocalypse breaks out. And other various creatures start to threaten them (or even become their allies) It's basically a cute found family story. The premise is pretty simplistic but that's what I love about it. The animation style of The Last Kids On Earth is so beautiful as well!

I'm still waiting for a season 3!!!!!

Code Lyoko

I remember as a kid being aware of this show and thinking it looked kind of interesting (and I always loved the theme song!!) but I never ended up watching it back then because I let peer pressure get the better of me. I remember I met someone who brought up how much they loved the show. When I heard them express that interest, I was at first excited to ask them more but before I had the chance, everyone else started making fun of him for liking Code Lyoko.

I guess it was like the nerd show or something? I don't really know why it was considered cringe to like Code Lyoko but upon seeing my peers act this way, I decided I can't like Code Lyoko if I want to fit in. So, I avoided watching it. But earlier this year, when I was flipping through channels, they were showing old episodes of Code Lyoko! I was intrigued since I remembered it from childhood and thought I'd actually give it a chance this time. And it's actually a pretty good show! It can be slow at times but overall I enjoy it.

If you're like me and avoided watching this back then due to peer pressure, I highly recommend leaving that in the past and just letting yourself enjoy this show!!

Slugterra

Slugterra is honestly pretty similar to Pokemon, except it's slugs! And the entire series takes place underground. Basically, there's a whole underground world called Slugterra, home to slugs, trolls, moles, etc. And all the slugs have cool powers so the people collect & befriend slugs so they can use them as weapons ("slugslinging"). If you like Pokemon, you're sure to like Slugterra!

Detentionaire

I discovered Detentionaire randomly while I was searching through Amazon's library of cartoons. I was looking for a new show to watch and just stumbled upon this one. It looked pretty interesting and I was surprised to see it was a show from 2011. I don't know how I missed this show back then. Idk if maybe it only aired in Canada or something? (cuz it's a Canadian show) But anyways, Detentionaire is such an intriguing show where the main character, Lee, discovers some grand conspiracy and has to try to expose it to prove his innocence so he can get out of detention. It's such an interesting concept. And, as I mentioned earlier, mystery is my favor genre, so I had a lot of fun with this one.

The only problem though is, of course, it ends on a cliffhanger. The show got canceled before they had the chance to conclude the story in a satisfying way (or any type of way) so watch at your own risk.

Catscratch

I honestly don't even remember what this show was about but I do remember enjoying this show and being excited when I saw a new episode was out. I remember thinking it was so funny. I just don't think enough people know about this show.

i really want to do a full lore analysis of just add magic soonish because damn i just remembered how deep it goes like that show had backstory all the way to the 1800s

unfortunately i don't really have the time to watch a whole show and take notes but it is really cool how much worldbuilding they put into the show from the spices and the book to the actual full timeline that revealed itself through the time travel spells they used

as i've said before i also want to do the same for mako mermaids, because i feel like it was quite shadowed by h20 since that show holds so much nostalgia for people and they were basically aired for two different childhood eras i think, but it has SO much story and worldbuilding that i don't see talked about very often

there is a whole backstory of mermaid politics that is just brushed over which i really want to go back and analyse it fully because it is really interesting and deserves attention! mako mermaids added so much to the overall lore of this universe and i love it dearly i just have to find time to rewatch it

i talk about both of these shows at the same time because i feel like there are a lot of similarities in which their backstories are very detailed and they have a similar plot structure (which is probably intentional given the glaringly obvious similarities between just add magic and just add water) but yeah i just feel like they deserve a more thought out deep dive into everything they have because it is so much fun to learn about

#honestly i am and always will be a sucker for worldbuilding #you give me anything about the wider world/universe i am in #i want to know how this whole thing works for everyone else outside of the narrative #and they do a good job at that #obviously there are plot holes because they're kids shows but it's still good #just add magic #mako mermaids #this is just a longer version of a post i already made but who cares #i wanted to rant about this lmao

Just Add Magic trio headcanons I have after rewatching the show after 3 years:

— KELLY !

• of French descent (idkw)

• Autistic (hyperfixates on the cookbook, quickly solving mysteries via pattern recognition, picking up on magic rather quickly, and Darbie saying she notices Kelly always smoothing her hair most likely as a form of stimming can be read as autistic traits)

• Neutral Evil

• Favorite color is purple or lavender (it’s just a vibe i get)

• Speak Now & Midnights stan

• But a Lana Del Ray fan

• Cooking/Baking is a special interest (also cooking as a form of control and predictability is very ND coded)

• Morally Gray

• Also her dad is autistic

— HANNAH !

• Has Generalized Anxiety Disorder and is on meds for it

• Favorite color is light blue

• Also autistic (“Numbers calm me down”, needing routine and hates unpredictability can be read as autistic traits)

• of Jewish descent

• Lawful Good

• Will be a former gifted burnout kid when older

• Tried to mask her autistic traits at Fox Canyon

• Gets panic attacks

• Gives me softgirl lesbian energy, but would also take her as pan as well

• SWIFTIE

• Folklore, Evermore, & Lover stan

• Def owns a weighted blanket

• Also her dad and Hailey are also autistic

— DARBIE !

• Inattentive ADHD AF (literally every “Darbie being Darbie” is literally just her displaying an adhd trait; i.e. forgetting things/always losing things, poor fine motor skills/missing every shot into the trash can in the very first episode, generally clumsy, and little to no sense of fear are all adhd traits. i have inattentive adhd i can say this)

• Bi Bi Bi (also may’ve had a crush on Piper but didn’t realize it)

• Like really how many theatre kids do you that are straight???

• Ron Weasley variant

• Chaotic Good

• Has major Alexithymia

• Celebrates (and makes Kelly and Hannah celebrate) St. Patrick’s Day bc she’s hella Irish

• The same reason her favorite color is green

• Converse girlie

• Plays Minecraft and Roblox

• Defo a DnD player and is a Paladin

• Gets slight gender dysphoria once and a while but doesn’t think too much of it

• BRIDGERTON STAN

• Red & 1989 stan

• Special interest are the Doom series by Trudith Winters, spy movies, and Earles of Wembley and will info dump to her friends about it constantly

• The reason her only fear is being left alone is due to the times magic has broken up her friendships with Hannah and Kelly and later her parents getting a divorce

if i ever get into youtube video essays which i want to my first things i want to do videos about is the full lore of mako mermaids and just add magic because those shows are reasonably underrated but have an obscene amount of lore that nobody talks about

like mako mermaids has such detailed world building that makes the show feel so much more immersive, and just add magic has really complex mechanics and backstory following the book and the spices they use it's so cool

i plan on rewatching both shows and making a doc of everything they bring up so i can at least write about it because it's awesome
