The first season was so much better than the second. The first season of Raising Dion has a good plot, and you become interested to see what happens to their story. The ending was good. However, the second season really isn't worth the watch. It's terrible, and boring even for kids. If you're thinking about watching the second season, DON'T. It's truly painful to get through. But the first season I would give a 7/10
-
This show is beyond terrible. The acting is soooo bad… the script extremely cheesy… had high hopes because of Michael B Jordan, but this bad.
-
0/100 - This show is protected. You are not allowed to say anything bad about it or rate it poorly or it wont show up. I wonder why >.>
-
Maybe it was cancelled due to the financial issues Netflix is having but it's a shame. Now I do like it but every time the Aunt character is on screen the pacing grinds to a halt. Overall a fairly great show, it could have been better without the bitch sister.
-
It's basically a kids show that the parents can watch with them. It ok for what it is. Dion is kind of annoying when he gets into the 'I want to fight crime and be a super hero' mode, as a little kid he thinks he's invincible and with super powers more so. It's amazing he hasn't been hurt or killed by the second season. Kids after one scare would have the intelligence to tone it down, but this guy ramps it up instead. Other then that it's interesting enough to pass the time if you have nothing else to do or if you have kids to entertain while you do something else.

I can't wait to see how all of the characters continue to develop in season 3. I love that this is a well produced and written show for families about a kid getting superpowers who happens to be black. The show is does not ignore the protagonists race in the same way that black people in the US can't ignore race,but race doesn't take center stage. The writers do a great job of balancing the childlike whimsy, comic book, and day to day reality of a school kid in Atlanta. Also, bonus- the soundtrack is nice.

I love this little show. Dion and his mom ate delightful and the storyline is unique enough to keep my interest. It's one of yhe best shows I've watched in a long time.
-
Tried to give it a chance but the absolutely putrid acting from the whole cast and hollow characters was too much to overcome.
-
100% - Great season that I couldn't stop watching! This season has a great cliffhangers at the end of each episode and an amazing finale! I just hope there is a season 3

Akin to a "Helicopter-Parenting Hyper-Annoying Kids for Dummies" master class. This show tries so unbelievably hard to tick all the right social issue boxes that it winds up just being an aggravating soap box lecture. The only thing more annoying was the fact that Dion was played by a kid with very limited acting chops, even for a kid.
