Reception

Ask the StoryBots has been called the "best kids' show on Netflix" by both Wired [18] and Decider [19] and has received positive reviews, with critics specifically citing its educational quality and its entertainment value for both children and adults. [20] Common Sense Media wrote that "[It’s] both educational and entertaining in every scene yet is visually appealing as well as humorous enough to make both children and parents laugh out loud... While the premise of the show is to answer a child's question, the antics that the characters get themselves into are very funny, and each episode always has an educational twist without being obvious... [T]he magazine format of the show allows for things such as music videos, letter rhyming, songs, and field trips to different places." [21]

The Domestic Geek called the show "a really fun and great way for the family to learn and laugh together," [22] while Chico News & Review wrote that "parents and children alike will want to binge on Netflix’s new edutainment series, Ask the StoryBots... The StoryBots dive deep into the natural world, research well-rounded answers and report back through contemporary music, humor and repetition." [23]
