    What a great show! Sure to become an instant classic for kids and adults alike. Purely magical every step of the way and I loved every second of it. I was astonished at how educational and perfectly executed Waffles and Mochi was. Such a creative and imaginative series and perfectly executed to boot. I usually do not make note of the negative scores, but for this show they are a real headWhat a great show! Sure to become an instant classic for kids and adults alike. Purely magical every step of the way and I loved every second of it. I was astonished at how educational and perfectly executed Waffles and Mochi was. Such a creative and imaginative series and perfectly executed to boot. I usually do not make note of the negative scores, but for this show they are a real head scratcher. I suspect some who have posted lower scores have not even watched it and are trying to drag the score down because of political grievances. Truly a shame(and silly) if that is the case. People from all walks of life can enjoy this endlessly engaging and delightfully inclusive series. Best kids show to come around in ages.… Expand

    The series is good educational television, comparable to the best of PBS. Its eclectic form—animated musical interludes featuring Maiya Sykes and Sia as singing fruits; live-action cooking demos starring famous chefs and well-cast kids; stunningly deft explanations of non-American food traditions—mirrors the experience of scrolling through YouTube Kids.

    This well-done childrens’ show is better than any dumbed-down E/I show I’ve ever seen, and will arguably do more to change people’s eating habits than anything the USDA thinks it can do.

    The most enriching and entertaining parts of Waffles + Mochi are these interactions with chefs, as well as the trips to places like Peru’s Valle Sagrado, where the heroes watch a man dubbed the Potato Whisperer harvest potatoes with all kinds of colors inside. If there’s a second season of Waffles + Mochi, let’s hope that Thormahlen and Konner let segments like those breathe a little longer.
