Peacemaker
Peacemaker is to superhero as ringworm is to earthworm. It might seem like these two things are related based on their names, but they aren’t.
Meet Jessy, an elementary-school-aged girl who is curious about everything. Each morning, Jessy wakes up and puts on her magical glasses–her “inspectacles,” she calls them—and her surroundings come to life.
With these special glasses, Jessy is able to see an animated world, and animated friends, all around her. And that includes her best friend, a 5,500-year-old purple sea monster named Nessy. Together, Jessy and Nessy observe their surroundings, ask questions about them and search for answers with the help of their friends, and an original song or two.
Jessy and Nessy is an Amazon Prime original series for inquisitive preschoolers. Think the animation of Blues Clues with a cute monster twist.
Here, kids will learn what sorts of questions to ask about the world around them, and how to come to conclusions. Each episode is broken into two ten-minute segments where dancing, silly songs and fun are primary objectives. The show also teaches lessons about processing and regulating emotions and treating friends with kindness.
Jessy and her pals occasionally get frustrated, but together they work through their reactions to learn how to best respond to the unexpected.
Jessy and Nessy include a shy friend in their games. Jessy learns how to manage her angry emotions after failing.
Jessy gets frustrated and lashes out at Nessy, but she apologizes immediately.
Kristin Smith joined the Plugged In team in 2017. Formerly a Spanish and English teacher, Kristin loves reading literature and eating authentic Mexican tacos. She and her husband, Eddy, love raising their children Judah and Selah. Kristin also has a deep affection for coffee, music, her dog (Cali) and cat (Aslan).

This Netflix drama about a teen girl who has moved from NYC to Colorado features enough adolescent angst to electrify a small city.
‘The Terminal List: Dark Wolf’ provides more context for the events in ‘The Terminal List.’ It also expands on the original show’s violence and profanity.
This adaptation may lack the depth of its source material, but it isn’t a bad option if you’re itching for a new legal drama.
