What Parents Need to Know
About Martin Mystery
Parents need to know that this show deals with aliens, the supernatural, and other strange, unexplained phenomena that young viewers may have questions about (and some may even be scared of). But the creepy subject matter is usually surrounded with enough silliness that it's not disturbing. The series is mostly action and goofy fun, with very little substance and no serious messages or moral lessons.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the mystery in each episode and what kind of creature or phenomenon was involved. How did Martin and Diana handle the situation? Do you think this kind of situation could happen in real life? How would you handle it, assuming you didn't have any special powers, weapons, or gadgets? Another discussion topic could be Martin's immature behavior at school versus his behavior on assignment. What do you think of his boyish pranks? Why does Diana get so frustrated with him? How does his irresponsible behavior compare with the way he handles himself on missions?

Too Subliminal
The first time I watched Martin Mystery with my 5 year old grandson I thought it was adventurous, but as we started to watch daily episodes I noticed strange under and over tones of chanting and demonic figures. I do like the main characters, (Martin, his sister and Java) I just don't get a good feeling about the monsters and how they are portrayed. And sometimes the characters themselves are transformed into evil and yes demonic foe.
