As a new Zealander, i hate this show. here are my problems with it:
1: it uses cheesy-looking flash animation.
2: irritating voice acting, especially for Darwin and newts.
3: some episodes have a predictable plot. for example, in "who's eating the moon", when i saw the episode's title, i knew exactly what the plot was going to be: Darwin and newts try to figure out why the moon is disappearing. and that's exactly what happened.
4: ugly character designs. Darwin's design is a ripoff of Leo from little Einsteins.
5: it's a ripoff of Dora the explorer, since both shows involve a kid exploring in the forest and teaching a foreign language.
6: newts is unlikable and annoying. for example, in the first episode, she threw everything out of the treehouse.
7: the catchphrases "let's science this!" and "i'm on it!" get annoying fast.
8: overall, it's a disgrace to my country. hopefully it will get cancelled and taken off the air soon.
