I have to say, I did not expect to enjoy this show THIS much. After rewatching Phineas & Ferb, I had no idea what cartoon could be as enjoyable to get into. That's when I heard of Milo Murphy's Law. I had no idea that the series existed. I had no idea that the characters are fantastic. I had no idea that actual important plot points from Phineas & Ferb were being continued in this.
Admittedly, I had little idea what was going on in the first couple of episodes. Especially with the pistachio people. I thought they would be some weird comic relief serving characters who'd appear in each episode to protect some nuts. Oh, how wrong I was! I was blown away by their overlapping story arc and the chemistry between those two characters became more and more fantastic.
And then there's Milo Murphy himself. I know of one rule to create the perfect character: have bad luck put them in trouble, and have them use their own wit to get out of it. A perfect example of a character that does the exact opposite is Jar Jar Binks: he gets in trouble because of his own stupidity, but gets out by pure luck. And what a coincidence it is that Jar Jar Binks is the most hated character of all time! But I don't like making too many comparisons, which is why I'll just say this: Milo is a great, optimistic boy who is a lot of fun to watch. And so are the incredibly daring, yet human side characters.
And of course, then there's season two, which had me completely hooked. It's not a secret that Doofenshmirtz is my favorite character from Phineas & Ferb, but I didn't expect he would STILL be as enjoyable to watch in a different series. I mean, he has perfect chemistry with almost every character. Milo's sister even has a more interesting sibling-rivalry with Doofenshmirtz, a random old guy who just showed up one day, than with her actual brother! It's crazy how Dr. D after all this time, all his SCREEN time, still manages to be so much fun to watch.
I really hope this show will continue on Disney+. I don't think it's really a kid's show, though. I'm in my twenties and I enjoyed Phineas & Ferb more at my age now than I did when I was twelve, and Milo Murphy's Law seems to be even more mature, for the most part. I know there's a Phineas & Ferb movie coming out soon as well, but honestly? I'd rather have a next season of this gem.
(That doesn't mean I'm not excited about the movie, though. Keep up the good work!)
