TV Round Up: K.C. Undercover and Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir

There are a lot of shows that I enjoy watching but for some reason I have yet to even mention on my blog. I'm going to start with two of my favorite Teen shows: K.C. Undercover and Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.


K.C. Undercover    Sundays 8:00 PM EST  Disney Channel

Although, the first season of K.C. Undercover premiered January 2015, I never wrote anything about it. With this season winding down, I figured I would finally post a little something now.

What is this show about?

It's about the Coopers, a family of spies taking down criminals. It's set in Washington, D.C. and mainly focuses on high school student and overachiever K.C. Cooper (played by Zendaya). On the first episode, K.C. was not only recruited by a secret organization to be a spy but she also found out that her parents Craig and Kira (played by Kadeem Hardison and Tammy Townsend) had been leading a double life as spies in the same organization. Sometime later on in the series, K.C.'s younger brother Ernie (played by Kamil McFadden) eventually became a spy. The family also has a advanced android that masquerades as K.C.'s younger sister Judy (played by Trinitee Stokes).

K.C.'s always trying to balance her life as a spy and high school student but she doesn't get a lot of help from her best friend Marissa (played Veronica Dunne) who seem to cause more trouble for K.C. than any of the criminals.

I like this show because it's not only well-written but it's fun. K.C. and her family are always involved in some kind wild adventure from undercover missions to family vacations that have them trying to find a missing hotel guest. I also think the action scenes are pretty good too.



Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir   Sundays  12:00 PM EST   Nickelodeon

I stumbled onto this show last week and instantly loved it. And thanks to a mini marathon on Teen Nick last Saturday, I was able to get caught up on all the current episodes.

What is this show about?

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir which is set in Paris, France follows two College Francoise Dupont high school students Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste who are the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir.

At school Marinette has a huge crush on Adrien and always gets nervous around him whenever she tries to get to know him. Her best friend Alya is always there trying to cheer her own and boost her spirit. However, both Marinette and Alya have to constantly deal with Chloe Bourgeois who takes every opportunity to either be mean to them or to upstage Marinette since she also likes Adrien. Meanwhile Adrien is the most popular student at school and a model. Although he lives a life of luxury he lives with a very strict and distant father. But his best friend Nino is always trying to look out for him and make his life a little more fun.

As Superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir, they have been tasked to stop the one who is turning people evil. Something that I found interesting is that when they are superheroes neither Marinette and Adrien know that the other is Ladybug and Cat Noir. And while Marinette has a huge crush on Adrien but as Cat Noir, Adrien has a huge crush on Ladybug.

This is a cute and adorable superhero show but it also has great action packed scenes. I like the characters and the fact that there's this big bad that Ladybug and Cat Noir have to stop.
