The TVI Take

PBS Kids series in which child agents solve math-based mysteries at problem-solving demand significantly above the genre baseline. The math is real, fractions, sequences, geometry, and the show treats the audience as capable of doing the cognitive work the agents do.

The deadpan adult-procedural aesthetic doubles as comedy and as respect for the child viewer.
