Brainchild is solid educational programming that tries to make science feel relevant to kids' actual lives. The topics—germs, emotions, social media—are genuinely useful, and the 'relatable' approach suggests they're at least trying to avoid the dry documentary trap.

The reality check: this is still a documentary, which means it's competing for attention against whatever high-production entertainment your kid usually watches. Some kids will dig it, especially the naturally curious ones. Others will watch five minutes and ask if they can switch to something else.

It's from 2018, so it's recent enough to not feel like a relic, but the social media landscape has shifted enough that some examples might feel dated. Still, the core science concepts hold up. Think of this as a solid option for family viewing when you want something educational that doesn't feel like homework, or for kids who genuinely enjoy learning about how the world works. Just don't expect it to compete with their favorite YouTube channels for pure entertainment value.
