First off, I saw that there were a few 1 or 2 star reviews but for me when I was a kid and I used to watch this with my younger brother and we used to watch it on CITV and I am guessing that I have seen a bit of Season 4 since I remember the new theme tune but I think the show isn't too bad, now let's get into this review.
So like I said before, the show wasn't bad especially Season 1 to 3 but I have recently been watching double episodes of Horrid Henry on their YouTube channel which is the Season 4 episode's and I do love the new theme tune and I love the old one but what I noticed is that the characters talk to the camera as if they are talking to the viewers who watch the show which is cool, what I don't really like is the fact that they now swapped a remote on the windowsill with a iPad or something that's similar to an iPad on a sofa and honestly I really dislike how everything changed and yes, change is good in life but in a kid's TV show where a cat called Fluffy would just press the remote and you can see the moon leave and the sun coming out to now when Fluffy looks and winks at the camera and swipes instead which I get they still have that part in but it's not the same and also the first 3 season's for me was really good alongside the old theme tune but now you have episode's where Henry is more nicer or at least not horrid like he used to be and also in one episode when Peter asked Henry, "What are you thinking about?", and Henry replies with him thinking of what happen's if there were two of him and then suddenly the next morning a random ghost like Henry appears and another Peter too and that was just ridiculous because not only was the voice for the other Henry different but didn't sound like him at all and that's why I dislike how they have done the plots of the episode's.
Another thing that kind of bother's me is that Henry's parents don't treat him like they do with Peter, so for example, in the episode when Peter was being horrid and I don't mean the revenge one but the other episode where he swapped chocolate's with slugs and in that episode, he deliberately spray's water at Henry, giving him a fright and he end's up running around the garden, and when the dad comes back, he blames Henry and when Henry said it was Peter who did it, their dad just told Henry, "Well you should have gotten out of the way then?", and yes he might be horrid but why does his parent's not treat him as equal.
3rd thing is Peter, who basically snitches on Henry and he does things to Henry to get him angry and sent to his room which I find is quite unfair for Henry, since his parent's don't treat him equally and they don't listen to him and can only say "NO" to Henry when he asks for something even if he said please.
That's what I think about the show and I know other's have different opinion's but for me, this show is a 10/10 especially Season 1 to 3.
