Tweenies is currently streaming on major platforms, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. 7 seasons is a serious commitment, but one that pays off episode after episode. A 5/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Emma Weaver's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Tweenies is worth clearing space for. Tweenies trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Tweenies Bella, Milo, Fizz and Jake get into many adventures such as visiting a farm, watching puppet shows, learning new songs and listening to stories. The performances from Emma Weaver and Pui Fan Lee give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. The series ran for 7 seasons (1999–2002), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The performances in Tweenies do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Tweenies delivers. If you have already watched Sesame Street, Tweenies is a natural next step. At 7 seasons, this is a genuine commitment — one that pays off. Emma Weaver's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Tweenies wrapped up in 2002, created by Iain Lauchlan and Will Brenton — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
