Peter G @RT77244119 Jul 21, 2026 As an Enid Blyton fan for years, this was so well written and filmed, truly transported me back to the 1940s! Loved how the characters are brought to life! More please! See more Jonas V @Spukky Jul 12, 2026 I know nothing about the books going into this. So no nostalgia attached to anything. This thing is just terrible. Acting is bad, story not great, the mysteries not really fun nor engaging. A huge flop imho on all accounts. See more Ella S @EllaS Feb 26, 2026 Absolutely awful - they have changed the original stories so much. The books have interesting storyline, this show is just rubbish. See more Gracie L @Booklover421 Feb 25, 2026 Awful adaptation. Enid Blyton would be mortified if see saw what her books had been butchered into. Very far from the original book and does nothing better then the series that already exsit. The acting was horrible and the original story has been destroyed. If you want to watch famous five I would recommend the 1970s version.

All I can see is a pretty well done, family appropriate show with a good cast (plus interesting choices regarding the adult co-stars) and some adventures on the way. Not all main characters receive equal and deserved treatment (Julien feels only attached to the group, not being truly part of the Five at times) and the different episodes tap into very contrasting moods, resulting in a slightly uneven tone. Overall it's still pretty fun and enjoyable. See more Chad J @RT41928470 Aug 7, 2024 I grew up on Bobbsey Twins, Encyclopedia Brown and the other children detective/adventure classic series and have fallen in love with the story of the Famous Five through this adaptation. The acting and cinematography are excellent and the adventures are engaging. See more Read all reviews
