Malibu Rescue is the definition of 'fine.' It's a perfectly safe, perfectly forgettable Netflix series that your kids can watch while you make dinner without worrying about inappropriate content sneaking in.

The junior lifeguard premise offers some teachable moments about water safety and teamwork, but with a 6.8/10 rating, it's clear this isn't breaking any new ground. Think predictable plots, stock characters, and that slightly-too-glossy Netflix kids' show production quality that somehow makes everything feel a bit plastic.

It won't rot their brains, but it won't exactly enrich them either. This is the media equivalent of white bread—nutritionally acceptable, completely inoffensive, but you're not going to rave about it at book club. If your kids are into it, great. If not, you're not missing much by skipping to something with more substance.
