If you want animation that is not just for kids, The Dumping Ground Season 4 is available on and right now. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Kia Pegg's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Dumping Ground Season 4 earns its spot. The Dumping Ground Season 4 has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. Season 4 of The Dumping Ground includes 20 episodes. It aired from January 2016 to December 2016. This season stars Kia Pegg, Sarah Rayson and Stacy Liu. Kia Pegg and Sarah Rayson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material.

The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but The Dumping Ground Season 4 works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. The writing operates at a level the format's reputation does not fully prepare you for. Adult animation that actually works for adults.
