When I first started watching this series, while I knew it wasn't going to be something I was going to really enjoy I did think it had some potential as an educational series following the footsteps of shows like "The Magic School Bus" and the like. And in the earlier series of the show it did at least, in my opinion, accomplish at least that goal very nicely. Each episode solved its own problems with scientific solutions. Broader narratives to a degree took more of a back seat. And although the narratives and characters weren't very interesting to me in the first season, It didn't distract from what I thought was the main educational purpose and interest that I could get from each episode. The educational content also did follow a sort of logical narrative structure as well, because it was clear that the writers wanted there to be sort of a gradual development of technology throughout the series but in ways that at least attempted to make some sort of sense.
