This show has such cohesive elements making it highly entertaining.<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The show features Jasmine Finch (Brianna Fynch) and her bandmates following their aspirations and encouraging the rest of town to do the same. However, in a society where everyone&#8217;s career is chosen for them by being \u2018painted on\u2019 at high school graduation, it&#8217;s a rough journey. Jasmine understands that she and her pals act on their own if they want to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2279\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/images.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"155\" \/>This show truly surprised me. This is one of the few children\u2019s shows that has such advanced plot points \u2013 the concept is truly dystopian. The theme of standing up for your individuality provides an amazing example for kids. Not only does the show have great themes but the world building is unmatched. The town has beautiful color schemes and small details that really add to the story. For example, in episode two we find out that the local bakery only serves one cupcake flavor \u2013 vanilla. This small detail is perfectly placed and really expresses the reserved nature of the setting. Not only this, but the character design and costumes are outstanding. Each \u2018bear\u2019 is a different color and has a different hairstyle.\u00a0 One bear named Holly Honeywell (Skyla I\u2019lece) has a beautiful golden color and sparkly red hair; the design is absolutely adorable and fits the show very well. Additionally the soundtrack of the show is exceptional.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2280 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/021225_BERBRICK_Big_Image_04_big_image_post.jpg.large_-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/021225_BERBRICK_Big_Image_04_big_image_post.jpg.large_-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/021225_BERBRICK_Big_Image_04_big_image_post.jpg.large_-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/021225_BERBRICK_Big_Image_04_big_image_post.jpg.large_.jpg 980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 233px) 100vw, 233px\" \/>The songs have catchy tunes, thought provoking lines, and upbeat tempos.
