So I took one for the team and watched 'Detective Baby'. The entire premise rests on a toddler that solves crimes by uh, drooling on evidence I guess. The plot hinges on ludicrous deus ex machina situations where somehow a baby outwits seasoned criminals. The CGI is a joke, baby's mouth moves like a bad ventriloquist act. And don't get me started on the 'parent' side characters who are more clueless than a sack of bricks. Episode 3's car chase scene might just be the worst television ever produced, with a baby behind the wheel in a 'comedic' pursuit. Avoid at all costs.

Never writing a TV review but here goes nothing. Detective Baby is an enigma, it's so bad that i actually watched three full episodes. Why do they think a diaper-wearing 'detective' would appeal to anyone with a functioning brain? I mean even the title sequence, with the baby's magnifying glass finding clues in a playpen? C'mon!

I usually try to find a silver lining in the VFX work of every show, even the dreadful ones. But 'Detective Baby' makes me question my career choice. The CGI looks like it's from the early 90s. Whoever did the baby's mouth animations should be restricted to PowerPoint presentations. Has potential as a cult drinking game though, take a shot for every blatant CGI flaw and you won't remember the second half.

I did some digging into 'Detective Baby', and apparently the writer's room was a rented ball pit. The continuity errors alone could fill a diaper. Episode 4 had the baby solve a crime in Paris, but Episode 5 has them not recognize their own backyard? And the spokesperson for the detective agency being an actual parrot—that's the twist we're going with? Whoever thought this could work should stick to infomercials.

my kids thought it would be fun but seriously what are they teaching them?? a toddler driving a car??? i mean come on! we can't let the little ones think this is okay, and the whole drool as a plot device... just gross and not educational at all!!
