Since I have kids and have worked with young people, at times I follow their shows on Disney, Nickelodeon, etc. Some are just dreadful, others can make me laugh or at least keep me and my sons interested.
Henry Danger was that show for a good while.
There were many things that made the show interesting, but most importantly, Jace Norman was allowed to act as Henry Hart. Let me be clear, all the young actors are fine. I think the Henry/Charlotte friendship is precious. However Jace is a terrific actor with an excellent sense of timing. His performance in many episodes made them really special. They made a tribute to STAR TREK episode a year or so ago that is truly a classic. The effects and music all work well with Henry Danger.
But now...
He's older and is given less to do. His character has become snarky and in constant overlapping senseless dialogue exchanges with Captain Mann. And BTW, that's another problem. When it seemed they took their superhero jobs seriously, the show was much better. But when Capt Mann started bringing ice cream cones to a rescue or just being stupid, the theme of the show suffered. So with silly missions and Jace not allowed to show his acting muscles, the show, unfortunately, is going downhill.
There's little doubt in my mind that when Henry Danger finally reaches its end, Jace will be catapulted into stardom. The producers will be sorry they didn't use his talents better when they had him.
