Right now you can watch Big Nate on Paramount Plus — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 15 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Ben Giroux's performance alone is worth the time investment. Put it on tonight on Paramount Plus and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Big Nate is worth clearing space for. Big Nate does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Sixth-grader Nate Wright has a never-ending need to prove his awesomeness to the world. Whether he’s dealing with disasters at home or detention at school, Nate is no stranger to a challenge. Luckily, he’s able to express himself through the world of cartoons that he creates. Between them, Ben Giroux and Dove Cameron carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It ran for 2 seasons (2022–2024), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Big Nate holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Big Nate is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. If you have already watched Quack Pack, Big Nate is a natural next step. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Ben Giroux sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Big Nate was cancelled in 2024 — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
