I admit I wasn't too keen on Paw Patrol when I saw it for the first time, but it later grew on me. The pups themselves are cute and funny, I have a particular soft spot for Sky. Many of the Paw Patrol's missions are also kind of cute, such as making the world's biggest pizza or helping Chase overcome his fear of the dentist. I must say I agree about Alex being annoying (he was actually the main reason why I didn't particularly care for Paw Patrol the first time I saw it), but it doesn't detract enough to make the episodes featuring him completely unwatchable. In fact, despite Alex's prominent role in the dentist episode is actually one of my favourites because you get to know the members of the Paw Patrol better by hearing about their fears. Heck, I have anxiety about the dentist so I'm just like Chase. Overall, not a great first impression but I'm glad I
watched it anyway. I find that I have a soft spot for kiddie shows that emphasize teamwork (Wonder Pets, Bob The Builder) and each Paw Patrol member's skills are valued. Each character has certain qualities that make them special but it's all of them combined that save the day, whether that calls for Rubble's digging, Chase' sense of smell, or Zuma in the water. One thing, how come the pups can talk but the animals they rescue can't?
