Look, if your kid is a die-hard Ben 10 fan, they're probably going to watch this regardless of what I say. But let's be real: this is the fourth iteration of the franchise, and it shows. The IMDb rating of 6.6 tells you everything—even fans think it's just okay.
The show is basically non-stop alien fighting with a thin veneer of 'responsibility' themes. It's not offensive or harmful, but it's also not particularly enriching or even that entertaining compared to what else is out there. The animation style is polarizing, and the whole thing feels like Cartoon Network was milking the Ben 10 cash cow one more time.
If you're looking for action cartoons for elementary-aged kids, there are better options (Avatar, newer Marvel shows, even the original Ben 10 series). This one's fine as background noise or if your kid is already invested, but it's not appointment viewing by any stretch.
