My kids ages 2-6 all enjoyed this show. I Loved that they were short and included an at home version of what they do each episode. Fun thing to include in at home learning. Also bonus: it's not annoying to listen to in the background while catching up on chores 😆

My 6 year old loves it! I love that it's educational. I hope Netflix continues to make this series. Great for home/virtual schooling!

Episodes are a quick watch (less than 15 minutes) and enjoyable to learn some quick science facts. Activities are fun to watch and the home activity is easy to do and will keep your children or grandchildren engaged. Great new show and perfect to use as a teaching aid as schools begin welcoming back students whether in person or virtually.

Short episodes covering various scientific topics, plus an easy activity at the end. This show is really fun, and doesn't talk down to kids. I think kids of any age would benefit from watching.

My daughter's 2nd grade teacher recommended. Such a fun show with cool experiments to try!

It's hard to find shows that I feel comfortable letting my daughter watch, but Emily's Wonder Lab is fun, educational, and I don't mind having it on in the background while I work. It's a great show!

My science- loving 5-year-old binge watched all 10 episodes. Emily is a wonderful teacher and role model.

All 3 of my kids love watching this show! I hope they continue it!

My young daughters are fascinated by Emily's Wonder Lab. They have seen every episode at least 10 times. Emily does an incredible job of making science accessible. This is the EXACT kind of show that as a parent I want them to watch. I hope Netflix listens to all the parents out there that want good educational content and brings Emily back for more seasons.

My kids love this show and I love having more female science communicators. I had an instant reaction when I noticed she was pregnant during the filming of the first season. It's so rare that women are shown on air pregnant and it made me super happy to see it!!!!

Teaching summer school, the kids are usually exhausted from entire school year and just want to have fun. These episodes are perfect intro videos to our science lessons. There's not a ton of information getting thrown at them, it's just enough to get them excited to explore the "why?" Then I go through them and we discuss any questions they might have. Then do an experiment to keep them asking. Love it.

I usually watch science show for kids, with my kids. Thisone is no better or worse than others, my kids like it, so I'm ok with that. But the kids' lines are SO horribly cheesy and scripted that I really (personally) can't stand watching it. It's the idea by an adult of how an annoying knowitall brat SHOULD talk. Education by the trowel.

Emily Calandrelli is fantastic in this, but the terrible child actors, lousy production decisions, horrible music and superficial science lessons are burdens that are impossible to escape. Why in the world did they think that casting hammy kid actors and having them do reality tv style confessionals (with punchline zooms and canned laughter, for some reason) was a good idea?

As a science lover with a young child, I couldn't be more disappointed that this fell so flat.

Like the kids on the show, each episode teaches everyone, including me, a 69-year-old fogey, some interesting things about science. Sometimes I find kids' shows more educational than documentaries.

My 3 year old daughter loves this show so much! We have been able to do the experiments with stuff in our house. I love that this introduces science for kids and is educationally entertaining instead of just fluff to entertain.

Both of my kids love this show! It is so great showing such a positive female role model for my daughter. Girls can love science too! And I love the hosts cute pregnant belly!! It's a fun show to watch even for adults!!

Let me start by saying, I think the show ranks pretty high among children's science shows. The downside, however, is that some of the experiments aren't very practical or accessible to be redone or attempted by children of th suggested audience age range. And the show is so exciting and interesting that your kids will want to try it and be upset that you can't afford 500 gallons of corn syrup or toothpaste. One experiment in particular involved lighting a teabag on fire, so that it would float away and burn up. There's no mention that this is a very controlled experiment and that not all teabags are created equal. Five times at least now I've had to stop my son from wanting to light teabags on fire, and on the same day he saw the episode, we extracted some more thin paper from our toaster that he had stuffed in trying to recreate the experiment after not being able to recreate the one in the show. Do I blame the show? Not exactly, kids develop an interest in fire - but I think that episode in particular was pretty thoughtless about the fire experiment given the age range of the show.

I grew up watching Bill Nye the Science Guy in elementary and middle school and was drawn into how awesome science and experimenting can be. It has clearly been a catalyst for the person I am today, now in my 30's. Emily's Wonder Lab gives me that same feeling some 20 years later. Knowing that it was her dream to film a science show for young, curious, little scientists and to see it come to fruition just about makes my heart explode with happiness!

They dropped the ball with this show. The presenter is a little annoying but that's not a deal-breaker.

The thing I dislike most about the show is the obvious scripted and rehearsed comments from the participants. Honestly, those kids couldn't come across less natural if they tried.

This trend of cutting away to people being interviewed as though they are organically commenting on the events has gone far enough. It isn't convincing and it adds nothing to the flow of the show. Indeed, it detracts from the show.

On the other hand, Emily's Wonder Lab has the potential to be quite engaging. The experiments and the actual scientific content are all interesting... it's just a shame about the execution.

She needs to keep her agenda to herself and stick to real science. Otherwise she has no business teaching children. She needs to stop looking for attention to her personal opinion of matters that have no business being mentioned on a children's program. She's trying to groom children.

She needs to be fired.

I had such high hopes for this show, but found it to be very lacking in actual science or information. The concept is there, the host is enthusiastic, and the activities are eye-catching, but the education component is half-baked. The child actors' lines are predictably cheesy, and overall it was not a great use of screen time.
