Spartacus: House of Ashur
After defeating Spartacus and the rebellion, Ashur rises to power in STARZ’s gory and sexually graphic series, Spartacus: House of Ashur.
With Mister Rogers, we got “a beautiful day in the neighborhood.” With Mabel Maclay, we get “a wonderful day.” And this Mister Rogers-esque show from Daily Wire’s Bentkey certainly lives up to its name.
Mabel and her pet dog, Jasper, speak directly to their viewers, teaching them about creativity, curiosity, perseverance and more.
This series is free of language, drugs, violence, sexual content and political and social agendas. (As you can read about in my blog, Bentkey itself was created at least partly as a reaction to those agendas, especially in Disney.)
However, it’s also God-free. The first episode expounds upon the amazing creativity we all possess. But it never mentions the great Creator.
That arguably fits in with the show’s (and the platform’s) no-agenda agenda. It certainly leaves room for you, as a parent, to talk about God—but it’s not going to wade into the conversation itself. And for many parents so wary of agendas in children’s entertainment, the idea of having a series that they can allow their children to watch without wringing their hands over what it’s teaching, that may be a welcome change.
Mabel encourages her friends and viewers to express their creativity.
Jasper creates a time-machine (but it’s clearly just him using his imagination).
Emily studied film and writing when she was in college. And when she isn’t being way too competitive while playing board games, she enjoys food, sleep, and geeking out with her husband indulging in their “nerdoms,” which is the collective fan cultures of everything they love, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate and Lord of the Rings.
After defeating Spartacus and the rebellion, Ashur rises to power in STARZ’s gory and sexually graphic series, Spartacus: House of Ashur.
When there’s mysteries to solve and zoology to learn, special agents Sam Snow and Kit Casey are on the case!
Lara Croft may raid tombs, but viewers of this show will need to be careful they don’t let its content raid their homes.
Mythological creatures and beliefs come center stage, along with friendship, family and purpose in Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
