Drama
A Man in Full
Talent and intrigue ultimately can’t cloak the truth about this vulgar, crass and graphic drama on Netflix.
Welcome to Cocomelon, the town where baby J.J. lives with his loving mom and dad, along with his older sister and brother. In Cocomelon, J.J. and his family learn and play while they dance to classic nursery rhymes and other songs focused on education, kindness and family.
This clean, animated show aimed at preschoolers originally started as a YouTube channel created by Treasure Studio, and it’s the first ever to surpass 1 billion views in a single week. It currently has more than 85 million subscribers.
Now, Netflix also houses this animated series, composed of three episodes, each clocking in at about an hour. There’s no dialogue, only simple songs that are fun for littles and problem free for parents. And through those songs, children might learn a little something about sharing, caring for others, their ABCs and even cleaning up their rooms.
As the creator of Treasure Studio said, “At Cocomelon, we’re driven by being able to engage families with entertaining and educational content that makes universally relatable preschool moments fun.”
JJ sings and dances with friends and family as he experiences his first day at school, as well as a fun day at the park.
J.J. and his friends and siblings learn how to share, to practice kindness, to fix things, to care for animals, to count and learn and to be brave.
J.J.’s dad swims in his swim trunks. A few kids are mean to each other in daycare, but they resolve their issues and practice kindness.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a little like its titular character. It’s painful. It gets under your skin. And it just might leave a mark.
