Why It Rocks
- It is highly imaginative.
- The concept is empowering to kids in a Codename: Kids Next Door way.
- Smooth animation which is similar to Steven Universe.
- Decent character designs.
- The theme song is awesome.
- Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. are all very good characters that work off each other well.
- This is the first Cartoon Network show to have an African-American as the main character.
- Kelsey's internal monologues are dramatic yet funny.
- Some good lessons such as "sometimes we all need a little space".
- It's like Legends of Chamberlain Heights for kids!
- Kelsey's pet Parakeet, "Mortimer" is adorable.
- Good use of ironic humor, the "Elders of the Creek" are actually nerdy teen larpers.
- Craig's dad is voiced by Terry Crews.
Bad Qualities
- JP could be seen as a red-neck sterotype.
- Some episodes included dead memes like "Salt Bae", "Get Rekt", and "The ground is lava”.
- Some bumpers removed some of the characters or the objects and replaced them with the Cartoon Network.logo.
