Right now you can watch Peter Rabbit in Australia on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, and in the UK on Netflix and Sky Go — and the writing holds up regardless of the format's reputation. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 18 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Harry Henty's voice work is a big part of what makes it distinctive. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Peter Rabbit is worth clearing space for. Peter Rabbit treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. Nickelodeon brings treasured literary icon Peter Rabbit to life with the new CG-animated preschool series, Peter Rabbit. The series is a fresh re-imagining of the popular Beatrix Potter children’s books based on Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit features educational goals that encourage preschoolers to learn problem-solving and interpersonal skills, self-efficacy, resilience, positive re-framing and fostering an interest in and respect for nature. The voice work from Harry Henty and Danny Price adds real texture, not just recognisable names. The series ran for 2 seasons (2013–2016), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The animation style is distinctive enough to be immediately recognisable, but it is the writing underneath that keeps viewers coming back for more. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Peter Rabbit belongs on any best-of list regardless of format. Postcards from Buster is the obvious comparison, but Peter Rabbit earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.

Peter Rabbit wrapped up in 2016, created by David McCamley — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
