Read the review. Is it positive or negative? Would you like to watch this series? 'The Baby-Sitters Club': TV Review Wholesome, breezy and one of Netflix's best to date. The adaptation of Ann M.

Lacking any cheap kiddie gloss, The Baby-Sitters Club should appeal to elementary school kids and millennials alike, the new series balancing digestible junior high storylines with sophisticated joke- telling. While gritty middle school is all the rage these days, I felt sad when there were no more episodes left to watch, immediately longing for the show's comforting escape.
