I have a 3 year old son and he's currently really into Paw Patrol.
However, most of the time I can't sit through an episode myself so if he's watching it I leave him to it. I think my biggest problem is that the stories are just so flat and unbelievable (I know it's a kids cartoon - but even within that context they are unbelievable).
There also isn't any real learning or much of a moral to the stories. The 2 other shows he mostly right now are Octonauts and Fireman Sam - both of which are much more educational and have (I think) better story writing - I can watch them more easily anyway. In particular he's learned loads from Octonauts about sea life and sometimes comes out with facts that I didn't know!
I agree on the whole with all your points though - including the positive ones and your review is really thorough and well written. Ryder IS a pretty bad character and is not a good role model.
I would have given it 3/10 though! Looking forward to your next review!
As I missed the reward period for this post have some !PIZZA !LUV and !BEER
