How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.
This summarises what reviewers said. It isn't our verdict, and we don't write reviews ourselves. See exactly how every number is calculated.

Keep it peaceful
Even if you think it’s bad, don’t hate. I agree with some of you that say that it’s OK, but it does have a kid with seeing problems which is a good mascot with kids who have to wear glasses. anyway, make sure it’s peaceful #peacemaker = peacemaker out.
