If you like Wes Anderson movies, it’s worth checking out this family friendly TV show. It looks very much like it could have been done by his cinematographer ➙ Robert Yeoman..

If you like smart, quirky dialogue, this TV series is for you, as well.

The Mysterious Benedict Society stars Tony Hale as Mr. Benedict, who gathers four children to stop a global emergency.

Hale also portrays Benedict’s twin brother, Mr. Curtain, who is the founder of the school the children infiltrate. 

My favourite character is Marta Kessler as Constance Contraire. Her last name, Contraire, is appropriate for her contrary opinions and personality. 😀

I recognized the school instantly ➙ the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver.

86% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s won a number of awards for children’s programming.
