Young Dylan (2020– )
3/10
I'm trying to support Tyler Perry more but I can't

I believe in watching at least 3 episodes of a TV show before giving it a proper review.

This show is like a traditional Tyler Perry show and/or movie. Everything seems wholesome and cool, then boom, someone's on drugs. Yup, Dylan's mom "is a hippy now", according to the grandma, who abandoned Dylan for a month. I really thought Tyler would have went in a different direction since this is a kid's show (not a family show), but someone HAS to be on drugs in his projects.

As far as the actors, the adults are fine, the kids...not so much. Yes, they're kids but they're a bunch a good kid actors from previous years. Dylan's pretty good as an actor, the daughter tries too hard with her acting and the son isn't very good but I do see him improving each episode

The Chicago representation; I hate it and am offended by it. Dylan's from the streets of Chicago and all he speaks is slang. A lot of that "slang" he says is not even from Chicago. "Dawg, dial up, sauce (referring to alcohol), etc." isn't from Chicago. Chicago's knew for "on foe nem, instantly, thot, merch" but of course, Tyler hasn't even talked to Chicago people to know. And Dylan's just a disrespectful character in the show and I really don't like it. Am I happy Nickelodeon has a new black show? Yes but Dylan's more disrespectful than helpful when it comes to having life lessons at the end of each episode. Plus, I'm from Chicago and Tyler Perry makes it seems like this dangerous place and he shouldn't do that

The show is rated TV-G but some dialogue is more suggestive for its rating. A TV-PG rating would be better but Nick is known for rating stuff wrong. Most of Dan Schneider's work should've been TV-PG D honestly. So yeah. The show's not terrible but it's cringy at times and doesn't teach the right messages kids should learn. Episode 4 was about not snitching. And most of the show is just Dylan not respecting his Uncle and Aunt's rules. I've watched 4 episodes and really don't wanna watch anymore.
