Henry Danger (2014–2020) User Reviews

Remember to Not Take It Too Seriously

[samantha-fairchild · 7/10 · 14 December 2014]

So I can admit that I'm an adult woman who watches Nickelodeon (I grew up on it, and I've found that watching kids shows and kid movies helps me ease my stress because, let's face it: a lot of the shows on t.v. aimed at adults feature topics/scenarios that are too "like real life" for a person like me who just wants to relax). Call me an immature escapist if you want, but isn't that what t.v. is for? Anyhow, I gave "Henry Danger" a try -- and let me say, I was surprised that it made me laugh so much. The first eppie that I watched was the birthday party episode. And this led to watching three more episodes on-demand (my faves so far are "Man Beast" and also the episode where a new "kid" joins the basketball team). I adore the kind of humor in "Henry Danger" -- there are many side-jokes that are aimed at an older crowd so parents/adults won't get left out. The jokes also include pop culture references.

I enjoy the whole adventure, superhero aspect of it all. I don't mind Piper -- she's supposed to be a brat and I find it funny. The show has a lot of potential, and so do the stars. I watched this show on a Saturday night (I'm handling some tough stuff in my life at the moment) and it helped me to cope because I felt like a kid again.

When it comes down to it, if you don't take this show too seriously and expect golden gold at every moment, it's a nice way to pass the time. Glad to see the show got picked up for more episodes.

If I could make any suggestions for the show, it would be to keep including the supporting characters (not just Charlotte, Piper,and Jasper) because it gives me a good "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" vibe, and also, please give Charlotte a last name, lol!

Try and watch a few of the episodes, it does get better:)

So this show had been around for quite a while before i actually started to watch it. Nickelodeon had been introducing loads of new shows at that point and honestly, Henry Danger looked boring and a childish show aimed at 8 year old kids just like all the other new cheesy shows and i had no desire to watch it. But it must have been a couple weeks later before i noticed that Dan Schneider had written it and as i had enjoyed all the previous shows that he had created (icarly, victorious, drake & josh, Sam & Cat) i decided i might give it a try. And of course, it was really cheesy as expected but i forced myself to watch it and i found out that the episodes were actually quite entertaining and lighthearted. Of course, some of the characters do annoy me like Jasper, Charlotte and Piper but because i really like the personality of Captain Man and Henry i am able to watch it. So even if you say to yourself that you can't bear to watch one whole episode, just do it and maybe you will actually like it. It'll bring out the kid in you if nothing! The script is fun and many of the jokes make me laugh or at the least they make me smile:)

Henry Danger - Modern and refreshing approach to classic theme

[divyanka · 7/10 · 26 February 2015]

Henry Danger is a show with a very different story plot and ideas, which make it quite interesting. It takes the "superhero" concept and applies it in a modern sense, which make the show a refreshing one. That being said, some of the humour is pretty dry and forced....and also quite repetitive. I find Henry's little sister to be extremely annoying and bratty, and her screaming irks me, although she does pretty good for her character. Henry and his friends are pretty funny at times, but that's about it. Many of the actors act well, but again, the seemingly repetitive humour makes the show a bit boring. At least it steps out of the typical sitcom high school setting, where everyone is dominated and controlled by silly stereotypes, and uses a different concept and approach.

*7.5/10*

Henry Danger

[ChrisOfficial · 7 September 2014]

Finally a new show that everyone would love and enjoy especially the youth audience. Henry Danger is completely awesome. This one has potential, but overall a great cast and characters. Full of comedy of course. Jace Norman has done a amazing job portraying "Henry".

There is no problem with the show. We love that intelligent shows like this is being made because families can sit back and enjoy it will laughs and smiles. Jace Norman plays 13-year-old Henry who lands a part-time job as Danger Boy most of all a true hero boy.

This one is a must watch. Jace Norman and the entire cast brought something cool. This one should continue on.

Henry Danger sucks

[Ionedirection56 · 1/10 · 27 July 2014]

I've watched all of Dan Schneider's shows beginning with The Amanda Show followed by Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious, and most recently, Sam & Cat. All of Dan's shows have been hits in my book so I thought I'd give this one a try. I couldn't even get half way through the episode before having to stop. The plot was stupid and the laugh track kept getting on my nerves. I was surprised that the show didn't turn out well due to Dan's previous streak of shows. This show seems mostly aimed at kids 8 years old. Even for them, the concept is outrageous. I think this is the excuse to have a show aimed for boys because most other shows are aimed towards girls. What makes it worse is that it's not set in the same world as his other shows. I wouldn't recommend this show to other people.

Love it!

[AnnaPagrati · 10/10 · 27 August 2021]

This show just recently grew on me! But I like it a lot!

Give it a chance

[pefre-19402 · 7/10 · 17 June 2017]

Come on guys, give the show a chance. I know the plot is blurring with the acting off a little but, everyone van admit that it is fun to watch. When one is worked up or bored, this show provides the fun to keep you smiling. Maybe everyone not caring for Jasper is bad but haven't we seen good films with that same situation? I do admit that I don't see any essence in the role of Jasper the movie because even though he is the best friend of Henry and Charlotte, the film barely makes you notice it.

The only thing I mostly hated about this movie was the fact that the way Piper disrespects her parents is like, teaching kids what they shouldn't do. Her rivalry with Henry is OK, but how she talks back at her parents, orders them around and his her parents fail to even discipline her.

Well aside that, the movie us great. The episodes are fun and maybe we should give it a chance, maybe as it progresses further, it would be better.

Nickelodeon fakes hype of the show by claiming so many people liked it, so they made a series.

[jenerates · 5/10 · 3 August 2014]

This show is okay. I think the show has potential, but the show does look cheaply made. The costumes don't really look like super hero costumes, like Henry's red cargo pants.

My problem with everything isn't the show itself but how Nickelodeon advertises it. I hate that they try to call it a movie, and then claim that so many people liked "the (hour long) movie" that they decided to make it a series. Just like how Nick says it will let kids "choose" the ending to a TV show when they've already recorded both endings. If Nick will stop using fake advertisements, maybe their shows would seem better, but I feel like right now they are giving the show too much hype and it will fall flat.

I freakin LOVE this show it's so clever! I never thought I would watch a Nick show again!

[brentkingery-937-541108 · 10/10 · 8 July 2019]

Idk how my tv ended up on Teen Nick! I'm 28 years old & the Cactus ep. was on! So I started laughing at it! I mean Henry & captain man have hilarious chemistry together! So I watched the whole of the 5th & 4th season! Or what was on demand! & the stuff this show gets away w/ is truly great! Every time you think captain man is going to end up doing the right thing he does the complete opposite! The writing for the most part is great! They put adult humor in there! But the actors is were the gold is I mean that sister from ep. one she was a screaming tyrant now she is much quieter & has turned into a smart scary sociopath! The early ep. are ok but when u get into S 3 thru now is where the gold is! I think the homage ep. to Stranger Things was so cleverly done! They bring is these crazy side characters! The line "Let me captain man splain it to you" then Charlotte punches him in his arm genius! They just use these wonderful one liners! Love this show watch it every week seen every ep. not ashamed of it! Brings back my love of watching Nick when I was younger! The guy who said that it seams perverted has a sick warped mind! & it's sad that's where is mind goes! This show is fantastic! & I honestly can't believe it hasn't been nominated for an Emmy yet!

Entertaining enough

[vnwainaina · 6/10 · 30 April 2017]

I rarely watch Nickelodeon. The only times that I do is when my sister comes over on holidays and she hogs the TV. I have to say that out of all the live-action shows currently airing (Game Shakers, School of Rock, Thundermans and others), Henry Danger is one of my favourites. The show is beautifully self-aware and both the situations they face and the dialogue reflect that it's a show that's just for fun. I love cheesy plots and lines as long as someone knows that they're being so. And this show is definitely that. From plots involving villains who're harvesting beetle tears to the hero's name itself (Captain Man. Oh jeez how I laughed when I first heard that). This show isn't serious. It has a sorta campy feel to it and I love how the writers seem to have fun with each episode and situations that the characters are in. Watch, enjoy, laugh. It definitely has its drawbacks, but I felt like no-one really explained the good in it, so I hope this helps.

I Despise This.

[PerryFamily1095 · 1/10 · 8 December 2015]

I love Dan Schnieder. I have watched Drake and Josh, Victorious, ICarly, The Amanda Show and even Game Shakers. They are all great shows but this one annoys me so much. Where to begin??

1. Acting is terrible

I swear to Lucifer I could punch Jace Norman in the face. He is terrible! He acts how me and my best friend acted in year 2.... I am 16. He sounds and act so annoying and stereotyped. I find him to be a show off "I am Kid Danger now and I have to keep my city safe...." And crap. WE KNOW! The girl who plays Piper is SO cliché. She acts all sassy and acts as if she's the boss and acts as if she can get everything she wants. Pretty much a spoil ed brat who hasn't been brought up right. Don't even get me started about the parents! The only one I particularly liked was Charlotte.

2. Storyline.... Boring and Unactive

*sigh* This is supposed to be a show about superheroes and fighting crime. All I see is a cruel sick joke. One episode Henry Danger has to track down a guy with metal teeth who appears at a wedding. WHAT?! It sounds amazing but it really isn't. Even when he has to take him down all he does is flip him over a table.... CMON! Dora the Explorer has more drama than this show. And there was even one episode where Captin Man couldn't even open a pickle jar.. REALLY?

3. Laugh Track .. JOKES ARN'T FUNNY!

I swear to god every 5 seconds there is a laugh track. When someone is walking through the hall, laugh track. When someone can't get their locker open, laugh track. When someone falls flat on their face, laugh track. Even when Brad dies from getting run over by a bus, laugh track. I wonder how it's gonna play out when it takes place in Brad's funeral. The jokes are boring and uninspired, It didn't make me laugh once, not even a grin. Cringe worthy fart jokes. I would rather watch the return of Barney.

4. Dosn't hold anyone's attention

This is something that all TV shows need to do, hold and get my attention. This did neither. The trailers don't want to make you watch. Even if it did it certainly dos't make me want to keep watching. It isn't interesting, exciting or even amusing so why is it still going?

Even if you love Dan Schnieder there is no way you should watch this! If you like superheroes, action packed drama in every scene and a storyline to keep you hooked. Watch Ant Man.

Surprised and Entertained

[YoungStringer · 8/10 · 3 August 2014]

Let me start by saying I'm a female in my 40's. My son who loves superhero movies couldn't wait to watch this. I have to be honest and say that I can barely tolerate most Nick Shows. For "movie night" I told my son I'd watch this with him. OMG. I have to say I really enjoyed this show. I can't remember the last time a show made me laugh so hard I cried. It might be a corny movie/show, but it is very entertaining. Since I LOVE sarcasm, I think the superhero is HILARIOUS!! A few days before I'd just watched Batman and Robin with George Clooney. This show blew that Batman and the horrible script and acting out of the water.

good show for kids

[ronbrooks1968 · 7/10 · 22 April 2015]

I think it is a good show for kids and (adults alike :kids at heart) I normally give the show about a rating about a #7 but the past episode Bucket Trap. When Henry and Charlotte told Jasper the Fake secret...just to see if he would be able to keep a real secret Jasper's reaction was PRICELESS (I gave that episode a #9) I admit I'm not a kid (I am a kid at heart) but I watched it with my niece's they love it (I actually laughed with them, sometimes even more than they do) I love the original cast...I'm not crazy for the others who have recurring roles...(Henry's "sort of friends"..if that makes sense?) Riele Downs: Charlotte, is great for the show "I think she's hilarious" She really bring out the comedic aspects of the show. Don't get me wrong they all have comedic aspects, But Riele OMG

I'll be amazed if this show makes it...

[gmm80 · 1/10 · 14 September 2014]

I've always been a fan of Dan Schneider's shows. I really didn't expect to like Sam and Cat, but I was pleasantly surprised, and was a little bummed it didn't get another season. I watched the movie premiere of Henry Danger, and though didn't completely love it, was willing to give the show a look. I just tried to watch the first episode and aside from the Henry character, pretty much all the characters are completely annoying. There's the dumb male friend, the overly precocious, sassy female friend and the unbelievably obnoxious and unfunny little sister. None of these characters are even likable. Sorry Dan, thumbs down from me on this one.

baba ti e broke

[vikito-12243 · 12 April 2019]

BEST SHOW EVER! I love it so freaking much. Sending love to the cast. I love all the characters so mich.

Straight garbage.

[cjohnson-75384 · 1/10 · 20 October 2018]

I despise this show with every fiber, ounce and bit of being possible. It is so profoundly obnoxious it makes me sick. Kids watch this garbage?

its .....OK

[cwinner-82703 · 8/10 · 9 July 2016]

I've always loved Dan Schneider's sense of comedy. From All that to Icarly have been my favorite shows. And even though this how doesn't live up to those show's qualities, its still makes me laugh every time i watch it. Its got a combination of weirdness and random and they go together really well in this show. Sure, it doesn't live up to Drake and Josh' style of humor but i will still watch it when i'm bored. It kind of has its own unique plot. A kid becomes a superheroes' sidekick and has to deal with his normal life along the way. Sure, this plot is used everywhere but this one takes the cake. And once again, Dan Schneider has made a great comedy.

A very enjoyable and funny series.

[roadbytheriver · 6/10 · 28 December 2023]

I think it is a somewhat childish but very enjoyable and cheerful series, each episode of which is full of entertaining events, especially the last season. Almost all of the characters can make you laugh. Captain Man and Henry seem to have good chemistry. Their brotherhood seems believable and they have interesting, funny adventures. The actress, who plays the role of TV reporter Mary, entertains every time she appears on the screen. It could have continued for a few more seasons. It can be watched as a family just for fun without getting bored. The actors tried hard to do physical comedy. The dialogues are quite entertaining and what the series offers you is an enjoyable time.

just awful ,lame and annoying dan Schneider needs a better pen

[fkh-44059 · 1/10 · 19 September 2016]

First of all Jace Norman is the worst actor I have ever seen on Nickelodeon.He is so annoying and makes me mad anytime he starts acting . They all treat kid danger's "best friend " jasper bad . Captain Man doesn't like him , kid Danger's dad doesn't like him in fact No one likes him . They show little care when he gets injured .Henry claims he is his best friend meanwhile he never acts as such. Dan Schneider's pen for writing good shows ink got finished when drake and Josh went off the air . All the actors in this show are just awful .Piper the little brat who is disrespectful to everyone including her parents is a bad example for kid's watching . Captain Man instead of accepting the fact that Henry's mom is married he doesn't but always tries to hit in her ..Worst hero ever . Henry's feels good catchphrase is just lame . I don't want to waste my time typing on this piece of crap of a show ...Don't watch it please

Excellent

[MironCrane22 · 10/10 · 19 March 2019]

Perhaps the best series of Nickelodeon. It's funny and pretty good.

It's OK...

[ultrahornetchaser · 6/10 · 20 March 2015]

WHAT? A NICKELODEON SITCOM FOR BOYS? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?

Anyway, Henry Danger is about a boy that is also a superhero. Now, I don't know what kind of advertising Nickelodeon used for this show, but it isn't that bad. It's moderately funny and has likable characters. The thing is, the plot is incredibly cheesy. And blowing bubbles to become a superhero is stupid. Oh well.

Like I said, this is a good show for boys around the age of 7-9. It's fairly average, but not terrible. The episode I saw had a kind of love story plot, so I guess that girls would enjoy this show as well. I guess this is a "hit or miss" kind of show.

Good show but season 5 is terrible

[mrharvey-06257 · 5/10 · 28 March 2019]

The show is good when i first watched it but when season 5 came out some episodes were terrible and weird! there's one episode where kid dangers breaks his arm publicly and hides it from people so no one knows he's kid danger but people find out and later he makes an excuse saying he's the "Playground Pooper" and since the Playground Pooper is mentioned during the episode there are some jokes about that character that aren't funny! There are some episodes that are good and some that are bad/weird! So i'm just gonna rate it 5 for now

excellent show for kids!

[jlamusica9 · 10/10 · 2 November 2014]

I absolutely love this show! When I first watched the hour-long episode I was hesitant at how it would continue. But this show proves once again, that Dan Schneider knows how to write hilarious scripts for the characters. Jace Norman, Ella Anderson & Riele Downs are great actors that only get better as the episodes continue! The kids have enjoyed watching Ella Anderson as a guest on different Disney shows & the Fairly Odd Parents movie, so we were all very excited to see her on this show. She has done an amazing job! Her character is hilarious because she captures the very essence of today's generation on social media, of course a little exaggerated to make it funnier. And she does a great representation of being a bratty younger sister! Jace Norman is fantastic as Kid Danger. A very natural actor who makes the kids laugh a lot! Overall, this is a great show that makes the kids laugh hysterically & the adults enjoy some family time!

Silly. Good slapstick. Piper yells too much.

[madden-brad · 7/10 · 5 February 2021]

My kids love this and they definitely hide parent humor in this. I don't know if that's good or bad? lol anyway the title of this review says the rest.

Kinda creepy and annoying

[libr045 · 4/10 · 23 September 2017]

OK I watched this because the kids in the family were watching and I wanted to be able to talk to them.

First, I find it creepy that a 35 year old man hangs out with teenagers.

Second, The teens are often rude, disrespectful and poor role models.

Third, even for child actors the acting is lacking.
