Netflix's refreshing adaptation of Ann M. Martin's mega-popular book series 'The Baby-Sitters Club' updates 90s nostalgia for modern audiences of all ages. Read the review here:
existed in a time before the Internet, smartphones or texting. Communication was pure… or as pure as mildly hormonal 13-year-old girls could muster. Ann M. Martin's middle-grade book series debuted in 1986 and ceased printing in 2000, encompassing fourteen glorious years of pastel sisterhood, Gen X entrepreneurship and blissful Tri-State suburbia.
Sophie Grace stars as Kristy Thomas, an assertive young teen with a penchant for problem solving via steamrolling. One evening, her single mother Elizabeth scrambles to find a baby-sitter for her younger sibling, balking at astronomical webservice subscription prices and the cost of adult professionals .
Like its paper-and-ink predecessors, this coming-of-age comedy flits between lead characters each episode, centering the girls' conflicts and inner growth. Throughout the season, Kristy struggles with her mom's impending wedding to goofy rich guy Watson , lashing out about his "throw money at the problem" attitude and her abandonment by her natural father.
Similarly, costume designer Cynthia Ann Summers nimbly outfits each girl to match her personality, from Claudia's chic white eyeliner, sheer-sleeved and flower-stitched blouse and dangly earrings-of-the-week to Kristy's terrifying beige turtleneck layered under a heathered sweat suit. Realistically, the girls even repeat ensembles, which demonstrates the production's level of detail and care.
