What is Codename: Kids Next Door about?
Taking numbers instead of names, five extraordinary 10-year-olds form a covert team called the Kids Next Door with one dedicated mission: to free all children from the tyrannical rule of adults.
Five 10-year-olds wage a brisk, absurdist war against grown-ups in a whimsical, campy world.
Absurdist humor. A family watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
