I finally did it. I broke down and I started watching “Gravity Falls.”
For those of you who don’t know what this series is about. This brother and sister duo are sent to live with their grunkle Stan for the summer. They quickly start to notice things that are off with the forest around where they live. They find a book that talks about the creatures that live there, and they go on huge adventures where they find these creatures and document the ones that are in the book.
Before you tell me that it’s a juvenile cartoon, I know that, and I like that. I have always loved cryptids and mythological beings and to have this cartoon mystery show that you see all of these creatures is absolutely amazing. I love putting puzzle pieces together with Dipper as this series goes on. I love when things finally tie up and makes sense.
I would honestly give this series a 4 out of 5. Not because it’s amazing well put together you know a perfect show, but because it was advertised in a way that I knew what I was going to get into. I knew it was going to be a little kidish juvenile and soft mystery. I wasn’t surprised by any of that. I’ve seen posts and memes about it. That finally wore me down to watch it, and I can’t believe I waited this long.
I recommend this to anyone who likes cryptids or mythological creatures or anyone who wants a softer show. It’s not one you really have to think about; it’s not dramatic to the point to keep your attention. A lot of times, I have it on just for background noise. It’s a great show to watch before bed because it’s not scary, but it does have a little bit of mystery in it that gets you thinking but not too hard.
